Chairman Nagle presiding_ MEMBERS PRESENT: Nagle, Davi.dscn, Vestal, Madsen, Galiher MEMBERS ABSENT: Mulford STAFF PRESENT: Best, Royce, Minick PRELIMINARY PLAN AND FINAL PLAT FOR LARGE SCALE ,NON-RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT - H.J. HEINZ IT1 T1 , E,\'L Z. Mr. Wm. Sueppel made a presentation for BDI in which he delineated BDI's request for variances and modifications in accordance with Section V of City Ordinate 2527 for large scale non-residential development. This request pertained to the following technical problems: ,1),accelerati.on and decel- eration lanes; 2) sidewalks; 3) a major drainage facility; and 4) the extension of water and sewerserviceto the boundaries of the proposed development Specifically, Mr.-Sueppel pro- posed to extend water and sewer systems to the corner of the Heinz tract and not to all parts of the subdivision. Donald Best, the Director of -Community Development, re- capitulated staff acitivity and meetings relative to the prep- aration of the current preliminary and -final plan. Mr. Best suggested that the proposedfinalplan is not in conflict with any written or unwritten municipal policies and indicated that the proposed development was not in conflict with current com- prehensive planning for the area. Mr.`Best, however, suggested that several waivers and/or revisions would be required by the developer of the plan to be acceptable to the Department. Specifically, Mr. Best recommended that the proposed fencing located immediately along the western ROW Line be movedback 24' to a location 1' from the proposed curb line and a maximum height of 6' be required of said fencing. Mr. Best also recom- mended that the landscape plan be approved by the City Forester prior to installation of plantings and the issuance of a building permit; and that the Commission waive the requirement for side- walks in Section IV subparagraph (1) of Ordinance 2527. Mr. Best also suggested that the Commission might also waive Zoning Ordinance requirements for parking should the Commission believe such action to be consistent with the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Best also suggested that Commission approval - _ 0 of the Preliminary and Final Plan should not be construed as to imply approval of any future development east of the present subdivision boundary line. Mr. Speer then presented staff comments of the Depart- ment of Public Works. Mr. Speer recommended that, in the interest of safety and the smooth functional flow of traffic, the developer install, at full cost -to the developer, accel- eration and deceleration lanes at the, juncture of Industrial Road lI and Highway #6. He further recommended that the proposed paving of the industrial service road be centered in the ROW and that the: -drainage ditch be eliminated front the ROW because of the difficulty of maintenance by the City. Mr. Speer took exception to the developers contention that sewerage could be provided by the Fair Meadows lift station and indicated that the developer should he required to tie into a sanitary sewer west in the vicinity of CRIMP tracks. Mr. Speer further suggested that what Department of Public Works required from the developer at this time was a cash payment for the cost of providing full sanitary and water service to the boundaries of the development or subdivision. Mr. Speer suggested that to make an exception forthedevel.- oper relative to the provisions of subdivision ordinance could constitute a dangerous precedent when future plats with similar requirements are required. Mr. Sueppel responded to Mr. Speer's comments to the effect that it would be impossible for BDI to pay the full cost of the improvments required by Public Works. Richard Hanson, spokesman for BDI, indicated that he felt that the Fair Meadows lift station would be adequate to provide ser- vice to the Heinz development. Mr. Sueppel then suggested that an alternate proposal involving the movement of the entire, development project 400 Leet to the cast might now be considered by the Commission. Mr. Sueppel said such action would resolve the problem of the location of the drainage ditch and would also provide no problem in terms of providing access :to the facility. Mr. Madsen commented that lie did not believe it was feasible to consider this alternate proposal at this time as the staff had not had sufficient time to consider the proposal. The Commission disci,.scd at length the major problem areas of disagreement betty *.he:staff and the developer and asked for comments from the stiff and developer as to possible avenues of resolution of their -major _problems. Additional questions concerning the question of city policy for the in- stallation of water and sewer facilities were directed by the Commission to staff members and representatives of BDI. Mr. Sueppel then suggested that BDI might immediately pay the cost of extending utility servic along the southern boundary (High- way ""G) of the development site but indicated that BDI should not be required to pay the immediate _cost of extending utility service along the length of the industrial service road. fir. Speer again reiterated his position that the City policy required I full payment for installation of all. improvements -within the subdivision arca After considerable deliberation, it was moved by ,sir. Madsen and seconded by hers. Davidson that the Preliminary and Final Plan for the H.J. 11cin2'Distri.bution Center be approved with the following provisions: (1) Acceleration and 'deceleration `lanes asrecommendedby the Department of Public Works be installed and paid for by the developer. (2) Tfie sanitary sewer system be installed as recommended by the Public Works Department. (3) The water service be paidforby the developer as recommended by the Public Works Department. (4) The street name for the local. "industrial. service access road be changed from that which at present appears on the Plan. (5) Future improvements for the storm sewer facility as shown on the plan be assessed to the developer. (6) A waiver for sidewalk construction be granted if such action is consistent with the requirements of the Ordinance. The motion carried unanimously. An addendum to the original. motion was made by Chairman Nagle to the effect that approval. of the Preliminary and Final Plan be recommended with these Subsequent requirements: (7) A proposed fencing along the eastern ROW line be moved back approximately 24' to a location of approximately 1 foot from the proposed curb; line and that: a maximum height of 6 feet be required for said fencing. (8) The Landscape Plan be approved by the City Forester prior to installation of plantingsor issuance of a building permit, (9) The Commission accept the Development Plan as a Preliminary and Final Plan and thereby waive the requirement for a Preliminary Plan delineated in Section V (1) of Ordinance 2527. It was moved by Mr. Madsen and seconded by Dr: Beasley that this addendum to the original motion be approved. Motion carried unanimously. /?

Mr. Bartley informed the Commission'that 'the new preliminary plat conformed to the RIA zoning ordinance Mr. Galiher, in a subcommittee report, informed tile Commission mem- bers that the lot sizes and R014 for the plat were in order but there was some question about the 25' paving of the local service road. Fred Moore; City Engineer,stated that paving .for a cul de sac may be reduced to 22' but that the subdivider must then provide'6 off-street parking spaces per lot. It was suggested that'a double garage and a` double' driveway could provide the 6 parking spaces. Mr. Moore stated that this provision would require a 35' building setback in order to provide driveway _stor- age for 4 vehicles. - Mr. Galiher requested that Fred Moore delineate any engineering problems relative to the plat. Mr. Moore stated that (1) the street width and the 6 parking spaces must be shown on the plat; (2) a standard dedication agreement for sanitary sewer had not been consumated; and (3) the proposed sanitary sewer should be located in the centerof the street. Mr. Moore pointed out that the sewer system was a private sewer because it had never been dedicated to the City.

A committee was appointed to further evaluate this program and to attempt to determine the reactions of the court and the county probationofficersto this protect. As of this time, the LEAC has expendednearly all of its planning funds for fiscal year 1.970 and is presently anti- cipating additional funds for F.Y. 1971 from the Iowa Crime Commission. The LEAC also made a change in program rankings. The Film and Lecture Series submitted by the University_ High School has been changed from number nine priority to number two priority. The Council will subsequently meet on the fourth Tuesday of every month at 7:30 p.m. in the College of Lai, building. Mr. White asked if there was any wordonthe approval of funding of action -programs for F.Y. 1971.- Mr. Kraft replied that it is unlikely that the notification-o£,program funding will be received prior to January, 1911. Mr. White also expressed concern on the mechanics_for approving proposals and stated that hethoughtit was -a good idea to ask the I.PAC, by some specific date, to make a recommendation to the Commission on procedures to be followed next year for project review. Ile emphasized that this was -especially relevant in the arca of funding programs for private organizations Mr. White also stated that it will be necessary to clearly define the relationship of the LEAC to the Regional Planning Commission. AREA TRANSPORTATION STUDY REPORT Mr. Kraft read a letter from Mr. Richard Gibson of the University of Iowa. The letter indicated approval by the state Board of Regents of the 1971 Five Year Institutional Roads Program. The project of that program, which may be of • specific interesttothe Regional Planning; Commission, is the Rocky Shore - Highway 6 - -218 to Melrose Avenue proposed street construction project. Mr. Kraft pointed out that the Commission's consultant, DeLeuw-Cather A Company, is also being used by the University on a traffic study for the west hank campus of the University. Mr. Kraft stated a higher element of coordination will be achieved by using the same consultant for both studies `•Ir. Bc rnhagen presented a flow chart on the Area Transportation Study to the Commission and reviewed the status of the various work items presently underway. I. Preparation of base maps - 98% 2.

Prepare alternative land use plans for 1995 - 10% In the near future, some of the more critical items to be prepared include: preparation of alternative land use plans; preparation of a map_, illustrating a composite of existing land use plans; and the review of existing lawsandordinances. ?Ir. Smith questioned if the proposed land use study will he coordinated with the presont-and proposed zoning for the arca. ,Ir. liernhagen stated yes; that zoning is based on and supports " land use plan. Mr. Vestalstated that what is presently being done could be described as making_an educated guess of - what Iowa City is going to be 2S years from now. He also said that it must be remembered that 'this 'plan that is being devised is not a static thing - and that it will have to he periodically updated to reflect changes being made in the urban area. He also said that it is desirabletoupdate the plan every five years. Dr. L'onfiglio asked what input is being made by the University in terms of its growth over the next 25 years. It was explained that relevant factors and policydecisions which will directly affect university growth will. include: (1) policy decisions by the Board of Regents', (2) policies and levels -of funding ny the Iowa Legislature; (3)`'the -changing composition of the student body, i.e. a higher percentage of married graduate 0 0 _G - students; and (4) the possibility of the construction of another sLatc university in western Iowa. Mr. Gibson, speaking, for the University, stated that they review enrollment projections -on--a continuous basis. A citizen questioned the reason for doing any planning when it is not possible to explicitly predict economic and popula tion data for the -year -1995. Mr. Schcucrman stated that planning based upon the analysis of past trends is better than not doing any planning.- Ur. Bonfigliu stated Chat the problems of planning are not insurmountable because planning is based on past experience and past experience is then projected to the future. Mr. Vestal pointed out that all planning is subject to _review and change. He also said that no one is saying that we can predict what will happen 25 years from now, but that we can make an educated guess and try to predict what is going to happen. Mr. Myers stated that there are also limitations of even a five year plan and he cited the State Highway Commission predictions on the Lraffic level for Interstate 80, which had been underestimated. Mr. Gibson stated a plan Ls not something that gets bound up in_a book and remains completely,,static, but rather creates an atmosphere in which decisions can be made in :the intervening time period between when the plats is made and the target year for which the plan is :intended. Mr. White asked if the Commission was in a -position to m,!e ahead on appointing a Citizen's Advisory Committee. Mr. kraft stated that he has been doing research on this subject and that a program must be formulated so that a well defined program can be presented at the first meeting of this Committee. It was alsomentionedthat the Citizen's :Advisory Committee will be appointed in the near future. REPORT ON ZONING COMMITTER idEETfNG Mrs. Patrick reported on the Zoning,CommitLee meeting held on October 9, 1970. She stated that the purpose of this meeting was to decide if the Model Zoning, Ordinance, prepared by Powers-t'li.11is fi Associates, would be used. The Committee will use the basic format as -a study_ guide, however, numerous changes are expected to be made. The members of the Committcc agreed that the ordinance.will be revised Wore being presented to the various governmental entities for adoption. It was also stated that the ,Johnson County Toning Commission has recognized the necessity of preparing a new zoning ordinance for Johnson County. :i was ::as also reported that the Committee instructed Mr. Kraft :c draft a copy of a mobile home ordinance for inclusion into the present Iowa City and .Johnson County zoning ordinances. These drafts will subsequently be submitted to Lhe respective zoning commissions. 7 - Mrs. Patrick stated it was most important for Towa City to adopt a good land use study. She expressed concern over the deplorable conditions surrounding some 'junk yards in the county. She also said that these conditions .indicate that additional work will have to be done in the area of land use controls. Mr. Myers reported that CoralviLle desires to be apprised of the progress taking place on the preparation of now zoning ordinances. MASS TILA,NSIT TECHNICAL STUDY Nr. Kraft reported that the Institute of Urban & Regional Research at the University, which is acting as a -consultant for the Commission, is, presently waiting for ,data _from the Iowa Highway Commission in order to make additional travel projections. (The legal aspects of.th s_study_are presently being evaluated ky the Commission's attorney.) The consultant is also presently in the process of identifying alternative routes. It was also mentioned that ,Metropolitan Service Corporation legislation was presently being prepared for submission to the next session of the Iowa Legislature, and that this legislation could provide another legal means of establishing a transit authority. Mr. White asked if it would be possible to appoint a policy committee to consider the structural questions relating to the establishment of a transitauthority. Mr. Vestal stated it might be appropriate to name a -policy committee to consi.uer this as soon as the legal report is available. It was the consensus of the Commissiontoset up this committee to consider the possibilities and report back on the Broad impact of the various organizational possibilitiestobe considered in forming a transit operation. Mr. Kraft reported on the formal signing of the contract with W. C. Gilman Company in the amount of $1,970 to do additional work on the ,~lass Transit Technical Study.

MEMO TO: City Council and City Manager• October 29, 1970 SUBJECT: Highway 6 ByPass/Highway I West FROM: J. Patrick White This week as I wasreadingthe just published League of Women Voters booklet, I wasreminded of some research which I undertook last summer -and --a_suggestion which I have wanted to make. I would like to propose that the -Council initiate a name change for the present highway 6 ByPass from Riverside Drive to.the east city limits and _Highway .l from Riverside Drive to the west city limits. It seems to me that, within our corporate limits, we can improve upon a system which names roadways only by their numerical highway designation. It would also seem logical to consolidate the present dual numerical designation into one name for a major cross-town arterial. There appears general agreement that the ByPass is no longer a bypass. To begin the discussion, I have a specific proposal: Napoleon Road John Gilbert, the first settler in Johnson County, platted the town of Napoleon in Section,22.of East Lucas Township. This site is located ,just south of -the -present ByPass near its intersection with Linn Street and Sand Road. In 1838, by authorization of the Wisconsin Territorial Legislature, this town of Napoleon became the first county seat of Johnson County. The first home -in -the county -was -built-in the town of Napoleon. The historical significance significance_of "Napoleon Road" would be consistent with recent actions naming Mormon Trek Boulevard and Terrell 'Mill Park, for example. The geographical - relationship would be particularly appropriate. There may well be other specific names suggestdd, but perhaps we could initiate at least a -brief discussion Monday.

R. Smiley, City Manager -- City of Iowa City 410 East Washington Street Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Dear Mr. Smiley: On Oct. 20 a petition containing 3,145 signatures of residents of the Iowa City community was presented to the Iowa City Council. The petition asked that immediate action be taken to provide a viable mass transit system for Iowa City utilizing presently available resources. The Council received the petition and unanimously voted to defer discussion of the proposals until the informal meeting of Oct. 26. Mayor Loren Hickerson immediately disregarded the Council vote and - made a statement in opposition to the petition. I indicated that the Citizens For Environmental Action would abide by the decision of the Council and defer discussion until theagreedupon time when we would answer Mayor Hickerson's allegations in detail On Oct. 26 we were informed that no discussion of the issues raised by our petition would occur on that date-. On Oct. 27, a Press Citizen news story stated that you would inform the Citizens For Environmental Action that no immediate response to our petition would be forthcoming. In the same news story Mayor Hickerson was quoted as stating that there is "really no positive action vie can take on that petition" and "The Council could not begin -to-commi-t-i-tself-on.the_extent _and_scope_of bus services." In light of the above negative public stance, it is reassuring to note you have reversed positions in your letter of Oct. 30 wherein you agree a discussion with the Council is welcomed. In response to your latest position, we _wish to inform you that representatives from the Citizens For Environmental Action will bepresentat the scheduled City Council Meeting of Nov. 10. At that time we shall, expect sufficient time on the agenda to present the position of the 3,145 petitioners in detail. We feel that the opinions of Citizens representing 57.4% of the electorate in the last City elections deserve serious consideration. Sincerely yours, ) CC: Iowa City Press Citizen The Daily Iowan NOTE: Mr. firown cal led and was "George W. ev Ph.D. evidently confused as to Member, Executive Board Council meeting dates.

Smiley October30, 1970 (319) 337-9005 Prof. George {Y. Bror:n Rural Route k3 - Solon, Iowa Dear Prof. Brown: The City Council has asked me to convey to you their response to the petition which you recently submitted on behalf of a number - of citizens regarding bus service in Iowa City. While you may already be aware of much of wilt -I say here, -let me state briefly our present and future position regarding the_bus_operations in Iowa City. The City is currently operating under a contract with Iowa City Coach Company to maintain the same levelofservice which has been provided up until June 'of`this year. This contract is expected to be completed June of 1971; however, it could be extended beyond that period if unforseen problems or 'delays develop in the City's planned - program_ The City is paying Iowa City Coach Company $90 per day for each route now operating, with all. revenues from the system being returned to the City. We are presently underwriting the deficit operation to the extent of about $s,000 per month; however, we hope that this will be reduced as the fall and winter seasons approach. In addition to this "holding" operation of maintaining the present level. of bus service,` the City Ceuncil has authorized an application to the federal Dcpartment_of-Transportation for federal funds to pay for capital investments toward developing an entirely new publicly owned and operatedtransit' system in Iowa City. The application consists of a request for funds for 12 new diesel operated buses, land, buildings, and equipment for -storage and maintenance of the bus fleet. As soon as the application has been approved, the City will advertise for and receive bids on new buses and eventually award the cor.cract for purchase of new equipment. Our expectation is that these things would be completed; by:the _ti.me our contract expires with the Iowa City Coach Company. i 1 Prof. George 11. Brown. -2- October 30, 1910 Solon, Iowa At the time that the new buses are on hand and the new system operati.ng, the City Council hasindicatedthat they will take a much closer look at the entire operation toward providi.ng more and better service for those citizens-`i:n Iowa City who choose to use public transportation. There has been l.i.ttle censi.derati.on given i0 any change i.It fares 5inee, as menti.onecl earlier, there is already a substantial. investment in maintaining the prosent operation and expending funds for au improved system. ' The position in which all this leaves the Council i.s that there i.s little if any change that should be --expected unti-1the new system i.s placed into operation. Pre would not expect to see routes added or significantly changed or fares -:changed until. the, City is fully operating a municipally owned and rmanaged =transit system. Further, I am certain that the Council would not intend the foregoing to be interpreted as not wi.shi.ng to meet or di.scuss this probl.em with anyone concerned and interested. `If. you or your fel.l.ow petitioners would like to visit either formal.1y or informally with the Council. in this regard, it can be arranged by contacting-ei.ther Mayor Loren Hickerson or myself. Thanks very much for your time and interest in this matter - Please be assured that the Council is aware of the need for public transportation and is making every 'effort to see that it is not only continued but substantially improved.

Hot%ever, during this entire period, governmental entities and urban planners continued to ignore such warnings, provided everincreasing subsidies for automobile operations, and refused to recognize the need for viable mass transit systems. This myopic viewpoint has resulted in the near destruction and strangulation of most major cities. Air pollution alone is a continuous threat to life and health in Net•: York, Chicago, and Los Angeles. _ Traffic casualties have reached astronomical proportions, central city business establishments have had to disappear to make way for parking lots, and traffic strangulation occurs during several hours of each day. Iowa City is a microcosm of the major metropolises. Not Very long ago we had a flourishing central business district. As traffic congestion increased, City Officials encouraged greater use of private vehicles by acquiring valuable downtown property for parking spaces while extensive changes in traffic patterns .:ere accomplished to bring more automobiles downtown. ;As experience in other ' cities had demonstrated, no amount of street improvements and creation of parking facilities could possibly accommodate the traffic engendered by such subsidies. Accompanying the heavy-subsidy for automobiles was an extreme reluctance to develop mass transit. The result was inevitable. Major retail business establishments moved out_of the centralbusinessdistrict to newly created shopping centers with supposedly adequate 'free' parking facilities. City bypass routes became the new traffic congestion and accident locations without curing any of the traffic problems of the downtown area. Further subsidy for automobile transportation was provided with new traffic facilities and control devices. To compound the problem, the City actively sought new industrial development, even going so far as subsidizing-industrial development with public funds. The public is always told that industrial development z- will provide jobs, lower taxes, and improve City services. There may be a marginal increase in the labor force, but lowered taxes and improved city services cannot be demonstrated. In fact, the opposite has occurred. Taxes have increased, city services declined, and transportation deteriorated. Huge expenditures of public funds have produced a deterioration of the quality of life in Iowa City. The argument is often advanced that Iowa City can continue to escalate the subsidy for private automobile transportation because we are not on the brink of an atmospheric pollution catastrophe similar to major metropolitan areas. The fact is that we do not_know -_what deterioration of the environment has occurred in high traffic density areas. No one bothers to collect air, soil and water samples to analyze for pollutants. However, we do know that the lead content of the Iowa River reached dangerously high levels last winter concommitant with the dumping of snow into the river which had been removed - from the city streets. This knowledge was gained through the activity of a concerned citizen; not as the result of City action. City Officials have often stated that the publicisresponsible for the demise of mass transit because they do not choose to ride buses. The fact is, little choice is available. Bus fares are high, schedules cease at 6:30 Ptd, major destinations are ignored, and there is no service on Sundays. The American Transit Association has estimated that up to 50% of the population of any given coarunity is not capable of driving a private vehicle. These neglected citizens =st rely on the good will of relatives, friends, or an expensive taxicab service if they wish to go anywhere in Iowa City during evening hours or on Sunday. Ask any harried parent if there is an effective choice of transportation service when they are chauffeuring their children to evening activities. Ask 3. - J 3 any of the sizeable night and holiday work forcesatthe hospital complexes if there is a choice of transportation facilities as they pay $1.50 for a taxi ride across town or pay the price of a parking facility. Ask the elderly about choice of transportation facilities when they wish -to=attend Sunday Church services. One of the 'economies' -instituted -by the City under the existing bus subsidy contract was to halt the special morning and evening bus schedules to City schools. This occurred despite the fact that origin -destination studies indicated the generation of over 1700 trips perlday by parents delivering and picking up children at schools.' 1o;:a City had the experience of discovering the effect of a simple fare reduction without an accompanying improvement of schedules or service. From Oct. 1966 until Miar. 1968, when City and University subsidy reduced bus fares to 10C, there was not a single month when bus patronage did not show a large increase over pre -subsidy figures.— In fact --the last month of 10Q operation (Feb. 1968) indicated a passenger total of 100,229 vs. a pre -subsidy total of 38,070 during Feb., 1966. This was accomplished without any improvement of schedules or service. The response of City and University Officials was to drop the subsidy and indicate that no further subsidies would be of;`ered to the Iowa City Coach Company. This action occurred despite the; fact that the total annual subsidy payment of S55,000 was miniscule compared to the annual subsidy devoted to encourage use of private automobiles through development of parking and traffic facilities. In the face of heavily subsidized competition, and assurance that no further financial aid would be forthcoming, -it is amazing that the io:ra City Coach Company has managed to provide service for so long. It is not surprising that the Company has not purchased new buses since that time, and It is a tribute to their maintenance program that service has not markedly deteriorated. 4 The Citizens For Environmental Action; a group consisting of residents of the Iowa City Community, Faculty, and Students, have viewed with alarm the deterioration of the environment and promotion of automobile usage aided and, abetted by both elected and appointed City Officials. Therefore, they have presented the City Council a petition signed by a record number of Citizens urging immediate consideration for the following actions: 1. Resumption of bus subsidies sufficient to reduce passenger fares to 10t. 2. Expansion of bus routes to include all major shopping and business areas in the community. 3. Expansion of bus schedules to include evening and week -end hours and increased frequency of service. 4. Diversion of subsidies from private automobile transportation to finance bus operations. It was hoped that the presentation of this petition, indicating massive public support for a reordering of transportation priorities, would be sufficient to spur a change of attitude on the part of elected and appointed City Officials. It was believed that the mechanics of implementing the requests could be devised by City Officials providing they obtained sufficient motivation. Preliminary responses on the part of Mayor Loren Hickerson and City Manager Frank Smiley suggest the hoped for motivation is lacking. [loth gentlemen raised financial and mechanical objections to the requested actions, suggesting that the current application for a mass transit capital improvement grant was a sufficient response to the needs of Iowa City for a viable bus transportation system. A detailed examination of this hypothesis reveals the following: i. The mass transit grant application has <simply .been submitted. There is no guarantee the City will actually receive Federal funds at any particular date, or that municipally owned buses couldbein operation by June, 1971. 2. The grant application states the municipally owned system might "possibly" extend service, lower fares, and improve schedules. These 'possibilities' are highly tenuous. The Iowa :City -Coach Company, with long experience, believes 16 buses would be necessary to provide the level of service maintained during the 10G subsidy period. The grant application requests only 12 buses, and suggests a 'possible' extension of service. The goals might be partially realized when the equipment is new, but they are not realistic on a permanent basis. 3. The only fare mentioned in the grant application is 15t. This is 50% higher than the 10( fare level of 1966-68. Previous experience indicated a marked decrease in passengers when the fare was increased from 1U to 15c. (Feb., 1968 - 100,229; i•tar., 1968 - 85,478) 4. The proposed City owned system would be very expensive compared to a realistic subsidy plan for the presentsystem. Present interim subsidy cost estimates vary from $60,000 per annum (Frank Smiley letter dated 10/30/70) to 582,610 per annum (City mass transit grant proposal). The estimated annual operating costs of the proposed system are not given in the grant proposal. However, assurances are given that the City may obtain funds to operate the system from property taxes. The grant proposal details a capital expenditure of $521,130, excluding any estima'Le of operating expenses. ,This includes the duplication of available facilities amounting to $218,130 (2 buses, garage, parts & tools, contingency funds) without consideration of the fact that land acquired for an additional garage facility would be land removed from the tax base. The duplication of expenditures alone could provide a 50% increase over the highestestimate for the present bus subsidy for over 5 years`. 5. There is no indication within City plans for diverting subsidy from private vehicle operations to support mass transit. Escalating property -, V taxes or reducing City. services in order to finance a bus system, while continuing to pour money into the -private automobile sector, guarantees public reaction against the new expenditures. The argument that the City cannot immediately begin procedures to improve bus service and divert funds from private to mass transportation is not convincing. Platitudes concerning the necessity of finding new sources of funds are nonsensical. The City has spent far too much time and money studying the problem without any practical results. Specific immediate action steps which may be taken are as f"ol l oris 1. Immediately negotiate with the Iowa City Coach Company to provide 10C fares for existing routes and schedules. 2. Immediately begin negotiations with the Iowa City Coach Company to expand hours of service for an additional 8 hours per day to include Sundays. 3. Begin negotiations to expand routes to include all major shopping and business areas in the Community. — 4. Guarantee the Iowa City Coach Company that the City would purchase any equipment the Company might have to acquire to provide a higher level of service if and when the mass transit capital improvement grant becomes a reality. . 5. Stop expansion of parking facilities and.expenditures of parking meter funds for traffic control devices. Transfer parking meter fund profits to parking lot funds where it may be legally transferred to general funds to support bus subsidy. b. Draft legislation amending the Ionia Code to allow municipalities to divert parking meter funds into mass transitsubsidies. This bill would receive widespread support from concerned citizens throughout the State. The Citizens For Environmental Action would provide an active lobbying effort for such a bill. ` 'f The transportation crisis, with all of its implications for a deteriorating environment, is real and growing.The public is concerned, and demanding that their representatives act rather than talk'. Specific and detailed proposals have been Presented. It is now the City Council's duty to respond to the public demand. mcmhers of the Council-: April 22, 1970 [Earth !lay] passed with all the concern and discussion due the issues of that magnitude. In some areas the problems are so large it may take generations to correct them, assuming that -far-reaching action Is begin immediately. In Iowa City the problems are not yet so large that %-.e are dying of polluted water and air or climbing over our own garbage. It has occurred to some of us that the better strategy would be to start doing something about these problems now, not waiting until we are confronted by a crisis. The Federal government has begun to move in that direction, sloe:ply, and the Iowa legislature to a. much lesser extent. The efforts of local government could -be counted on the thumb. It i.s for this reason that we come'to you noir. Attached to this letter is the first in a series of ordinances intended to put Iowa City in a position of leadership in environmental issues. We hope not only to generateVthoughtful discussion among the members of the Council and in the community, but to see the Council take substantive action' in areas where action is badly needed. - We therefore request thattheattached ordinance he placed on the agenda as soon aspossiblefor di-scussion and readings. The time for ignoring ,these_problems has passed. Respectfully, Charles R.

Node.rbec 17, '•97C : As9 Promul ators of the proposed "Disposable Container Ordinance" for the City of Iowa City, we feel that reciting the well-documented litany of dangers to our environment is not necessary. On April 2?, 1970, members or the Cit} Council and the general community exorcised pollution with words, lec _ures, films, workshops, -and glib statements; to this date, however, ;,w local government activities and/or legislation have shown any consis ency with the goals given lip service on Earth lay. Vie suspect that beyon the general endorsement of anti -pollution efforts, there exists a basic um;iilingness to effectuate the very policies that on that day .ve Galled `'crucial," "necessary," and "vital" to the well -^being of our community and country, - Given these on ervations, we -- as citizens of Iowa ! Ity -- make a compara- tively ri:rp'.c request: that the elected leaders of this community begin to lccisla e toy+ard the goal of preserving the ecosystem. Startingeffective and sive environmental rehabilitation makes economic and social sense; to the ean_rt ?.hat these efforts require a general restructuring of the "American V✓ay Life." the efforts are necessarily rarlical in nature,but no more or no less r•:dical than the institutions ---public and private -- which have allowe i and evsn enrourua-cd the desecration of our environment. 43 a fir: -'t step Wwafcl local Initiative for environ -mental -action; vre submit Iov,-. ii:e Di;pcs.�l;le Container Ordinance„ to th- CityCouncii of Ionia C ."�Cy, a ir.de ,'entoll; , the ordinance provides that the s? - of ail non -•disposable, r,on-returnable glass or metal beverage containers used for the purpose of holding either Soft 1 Ink- or beer is specifically I ohibited jithir the corporate r.it_ �_f t to C'l:y o= Ic:,a City, Iowa. of this ordinance 1:3 to promote the Dublin s I eiif h, •_.,,. ,.,,', er a ;.i re uy prevcntinc, the. use'an.l subsequent disposal .-ni<.h o;.'r:erwlae have an advFr e <,•Eecf on the physlr.al and social -environment of this community, generate waste material that is not blo-degradable, and cost large sums of tax money and land, provided by the City, to be consumed without justification. (2,) The precedent for this ordinance can be found to the city of Bowie, Maryland -- a city not unlike our own, except in its willingness to take direct environmental -control action, (3.) The ordinance submitted contains an express provision that the effective date shall begin (1) year following passage, as a means of providing persons, firms, and corporations within the City with notice and adequate time to dispose of their current stock without economic loss. As in the case of Bovie, Maryland, businesses will find that reasonable substitutes f.. e., returnablecontainers, do exist. Furthermore, the uniformity of the ordinance does not give an economic advantage by one business over another. (9.) Iowa City, generally referred to as more progressive than many ether communities to the State, is In a unique position to enact legislation of this kind. The community provides a setting for the managerial, technical, and research facilities of a major university; this fact alone makes the generation of alternatives for environmental concern decidedly more feastble. The existence of some ttiventy-thou sand young people in addition to a population raised and bred in a -heritage, closely linked with the value of the resource environment, creates a constituency especiallycapable of understanding and supporting sound ecological practices. Finally, the location of our city -- lying in naturally fertile river valley with substantial wooded areas andvietlands --- Makes Immediate steps for environmental protection a prerequisite for the continued enjoyment of land -water resources. Tt_erefcre; as a first step in saving the environment of this community and aF a dee:onstration of acceptance -and sensitivity toward the goals of environ- mental action, %.,e respectfully request that the City Council of the City of Iowa C; :y Ir.wa adopt and enact this ordinance.

City ordinances now prohibit the placement orf advertising in the public right-of-way and in order to beconsistentwith treat- ment for other businesses and advertisers in the City, we could not legally provide ,the advertising which yousuggestunless the Council. makes significant changes in existi.ng_ordinanccs. If you are sufficiently familiar with the bus system in Iowa City, you recognize that there are no designated bus stops aside from the central location of the bus route terminals at Dubuque and Washington Street. This location.provi.dcs little opportunity for the installation of benches which wouldsubst�antial:y reduce the sidewalk area at that intersection. Other than at that l.oca- ti.on,the buses stop for passengers_ wherever_ the passenger happens to be. As we anticipate the beginning of municipally owned and operated bus system next year, 'I have not planned for the addition of benches or other bus -stop -facilities. I am quite familiar with the bench advertising which you pro- pose, having observed it in other cities and having been instrumen- tal in providing publicly- furnished no advertising benches in other cities. l will be glad to discuss this with you further, but my personal opinion and the approach which l would take with the City Council is to strongly oppose any advertising on benches.

BURKE STUDY AME QIENTS 1970 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOM-1Ei4DATI0?IS I The major planning concepts outlined in the 1965 Burke Report remain valid. These planning concepts continue to be the guide for park acquisitions and developments in 1970. The six principal items listed in the 1965 Burke Report under Conclusions __- and Recommendations, paragraph -Number -l6,- have all beencompletedthrough a Park and Recreation Acquisition -Development bond program of 1966. Although the principal needsof1965 have been completed, all current needs forParkand Recreation were also enumerated in the 1965 Report. II In 1.970 a Park & Recreation Need and Costs Study proposal was presented by the Park & Recreation Commission to the City Council: The itemized needs were: 1 Recreation 'Center -Expansion. '-- -- -- - 2. General. Upgrading of City Park. _I * 3. Development of Hickory Hill- Park i 3. Development and equipping of existing neighborhood parks. 5. Mercer Park expansion and improvement. 6. Development of Terrill Mill and Southwest Park for future use. 7. The acquisition of approximately 200-300 acres of land for future development: L 8. The possible acquisition of. approximately 4to6 acres of land - adjacent --to the Oaksoods School site. 9. Development- and -beautification of the Old Landfill with the University. 10. Acquisition of the F.nglert Tract. * (of equal importance) III The Iowa -City -Park & Recreation Commission has rewritten and amended the 1965 Burke Report as follows:_ 1. Iowa City's most pressing Park & Recreation need is for a program of continued provision of neighborhood park and recreation facilities in those areas under development. 2. Existing parks and public lands should be more fully developed in order to provide needed recreation facilities. Neighborhood park installations including playground apparatus should be provided in all large land parcels now owned or to be acquired. 3. It is in the best interest of the City that all public land be appraised for park and recreational potential. and that those suitable for such use be set aside for future development. The City should continue the program and-, acquisition before the land is'develoned for such other developments. 4. The total park and recreation land including school areas but no University facilities approximate 365 acres.- Based upon recent census and minimum standards for park and recreation areas, Iowa City now requires about -920 acres of park and recreation_ land. :_The --Johnson County Regional' Park Recreation and Open Space Plan calls for-:the_City --to have _1,240acres'.based upon its -1,980 populaLion projection, 5.__ The City has a great need for another large park which can be developed with diversified park and recreation facilities. Itis essentialthat this site be - large--enough-so that its "open spaces" will not_be completely developed for extensive mass uses, but will retain an attitude of openness. 6. This paragraph may, be deleted. 7. The existing program of dual -use -of -park and school facilities whould be continued and developed. A firm program with the obligations of each agency _ specifically detailed should be established. Because the School. District owns the sites and the buildings and uses the property throughout the year, the equipping and the development of the sites for the City recreation program should be the responsibility of the School District. The School District should make certain facilities such as toilets, gymnasiums and all-purpose rooms available to the City Recreation Department; any building modifications which are needed to prevent intrusions into school areas required for the City recreation program should be borne by the City. Future schools should be designed to make such facilities available without access to ,other portions of the school and the City should provide a share of the land costs for the land which is to be used for outdoor recreation. The City should continue its program of making suitable facilities available to the School District including all park facilities and Life Recreation Center on a reciprocal basis. - 8. The City should join with other public agencies in providing the out -of -city facilities outlined in the Johnson County Regional Park and Recreation and Open Space Plan. The City should work for the preservation ofthese ,areas for recreation. The City budget does not and cannot (in the foreseeable future) have sufficient funds for development and for -maintenance of theses large natural areas. They are highly desirable facilities for the City and for the County, and therefore a program for their-acquisitionandfuturedevelopment.by a. combination of local. public agencies should be started. 9. - Delete this paragraph. It has been achieved. :. 10. The park and recreation facilities which this report recommends have been long overdue. In 19G1 the comprehensive City plan prepared by Harland Bartholomew andASSOCi:a l'CS of St. Louis. empll-Isized thee. City's' need foradditionalpark and recreation facilities, and in 1964 the CiL-i.zens:Advisory-Committer. appointed by the City Council reiterated the need for parks in Iowa City. The 1965 Burke Study indicated that its major proposals which became facts ,.after _the 1966 bond issue were only a "stop -gap" measure that more acquisition and development would be needed as the City continues to grow. 11. A Southwest Community'Park -is being acquired. (1970). 12. Itmendments of this report are needed so that tiii.s report may permit the re- certification of the Burka Study by the Iowa Coilservati.on Department Commission to regain the Ci,ty's"elegi.bi.l.i.ty for federal. grants and aid. -3- 13. As the City continues in the southwest-secti.on,it should plan for the development of facilities similar to Mercer Park for that part of the City for its uses should be a major consideration for any new tracts which may be acquired. 14. Sledding and toboganni.ng areas are at a premium in the City. Development of these areas in the residential neighborhoods is most essential. 15. The 1970 Park & Recreation Commission report- of needs indicates that expansion of present facility development is of highest priority 'for 'maximum utilization of public funds and spaces. it also recommends the.diversion oftheold and current city. landfill areas into recreaticnal. elements to minimize city expensitures for position and to _provide a maxi.mumr, uti.liraL-i.on of the Lower Iowa River. 16. Deleted. This item has been accomplished 17. -Delete. No longer pertinent. 18. Delete. No longer pertinent. 19. Delete. No'longer pertinen C ---- 20. The existing shortcomings in the park and recreation facilities of the City have been a result of a historic, shortage within the City, ,rapid population growth, and an increase in leisure time -by -the public. The ability of a -bond program to provide immediately useful facilities has been evidenced by the 19G5 bond program which was able to achieve all. of its 'desired goals within four years. Another bond issue will be necessary if the City is to attain the facilities listed in the 1970 Park &-Recreation Repor:..- 21. Ability of a bond issue to counteract the counts of speculation and inflation should be considered as evidence by the history of the 1966 bond issue and its accomplishments. 22. The City must make immediate progress if it -is to acquire the neighborhood properties within the City which were listed in the 1970 Commission Report. Any delay in acquisition of these _.areas :may find-them'subjected toothertypes of development. 23.` The City should establish a working program with Lhe Johnson County Regional Planning Commission -and Johnson County Conservation Board to impelment a regional park and recreational program. 24. Iowa City's City Park should undergo continuous upgrading so that it may adequately handle the increased automobile and pedestrian uses. The development of other facilities within the community efforts should be made to divert some of: the use load away from City Park and into other parks. It is especially important that the citizens of Iowa City understand -use -of -City -Park has continued to increr.se in spite of the increased facilities which have become available since 1965. This increased use of --ity Park in the _future -can be expected to continue. 25.' Delete this naranraph. BURY.E STUDY AMENDMEtITS 1970 IV. TYPES- OF FACII.IT,'.I S EXISTING Since the completion of the 1965 facility inventory, considerable acquisition has been made by the city, school district and private agencies which have changed tho total recreation picture. -Even more than the acquisitions, development of several of these areas has made facilities available, to several new neighborhoods. a. Parks b Recreation -(except -school sites) Hickory Hill Park in now the City's second largest park consisting of -90 acres of creeks being developed as a nature preserve. The 'park is. north'of -Rochester Street --and adjacent to the east side of Oakland and St. Joseph's Cemeteries. A small picnic area and access point has been developed in the northwest corner. A nature center is being developed, with restrooms and parking installed, offthecast_end of Bloomington Street. Pedestrian access has been developed from the south off Rochester Street. Nature trails have been developed throughout the, entire park under the supervision of'a part- time naturalist The park is being used by organized day - campers, field trips by manygroupsand informal hiking, nature study, and outing groups as well as extensive - individual hiking neighborhood 'uses. :.Anapparatus -area is being_ developed at the nature center. Eighty acres of this property was 'diverted from cemetery use and 18 acres have been purchased:' Mercer Park consists of 27.1 acres adjacent to Southeast Jr. high School. IE has been developed as a community play - field and includes 2 baseball diamonds (l lighted), 4 softball _-di.amonds-(1.lighted) ,a large swimming .pool, -..skating -rink using the parking 'lot and bathhouse, neighborhood playground area with 'a large amount of apparatus, a new shelter is being installed, and a large amount of trees and landscape plantings. Space for a tennis center at this location has been reserved. The school has used the swimming pool. during the school. year and studies are currently under way to determine the feasability of enclosing the pool. for year-round use. This is currently the center of most sports activities for the Recreation Department. Terrell Mill Park, consisting of 15 acres lying across the Iowa River from City park, has been acquired and is cur- rently being filled and developed as a major riverside open space. This park is a majoraestheticimprovement for the City as it ajoins the major access to the city from.thc Interstate -and -opens 'up'-:: a _ completeview_ along the access highway, across the river and through the large hilly City Park and downstream to an excellent view of Lhe.river and University of Iowa. As an entry -to -the -city park, this d tain its rimary open space - urea is being develope to re p W Page 2 BURKE STUDY A14ENT LENTS='1970 - vista characteristic. Other developments include filling to make the entire, property suitable for use, automobile access to provide highway access to a fine riverside picnic grove, -- fields to serveinformalSports for the residents: of: the hills and apartment area northeast of the river, a boat landing skating -lagoon river -access has been given some consideration should the city decide to move the boating facilities out of City Park. A riverside sidewalk has been installed from the south to the middle of the park. Sidewalks or bicycle trails will be installed to Taft Speedway on the north and have already been -installed -to provideadditional access.. to the river from North Dubuque Street. Fairmeadows, a neighborhood school -park of 5.7 acres, has been acquired adjacent to the Grant bloods Elementary School which has -a site of 8 acres._ This facility is located in the southeast section of town between Highway 6 and Lakeside Drive at the south end of Western Road. Development consists of open landscaping and the installation of: neighborhood playground apparatus.Street, curbs and storm sewer projects are being installed. A neighborhood `.playground .-.program is conducted at the school -park site.` A picnic -playground shelter is needed. - Crandic Park is a 5.2 acre riverside.siLe which is leased from the Crandic Railroad on an annual basis. - The park is at the intersection of the Crandic Railroad and Rivershore Drive and provides an ideal vista of the river in -two directions. It is the south terminus of a planned bicycle trail to run extensively through the north river area of the city from -- the University, through -City ..Park, _to--Coralville,and hence north and also southwest.- The swampy area has been drained and filled and now provides a fine, shaded picnic, resting, and fishing site. A small picnic shelter is 'being constructed near the parking lot. Large numbers of working persons have lunch breaks.at this site. - - The McBride Subdivision along Westgate Road included a small 3.3 acre.site_which has been deeded to the City as_a _ feature of a Planed Area Development. = This irregular, somewhat linear area will -provide -open space -in-a-rather = dense residential neighborhood and will feature open lawns and landscaping _since .the site is too: narrow and sloping for game fields. Extensive pathways, "verL-pocket" developments of apparatus, "patio" sitting and -resting-areas =and land- scaping is anticipated. This linear park will 'Lend `to directappartmentresidents-towardthe..proposed Southwest Park which will be about one-eighth mile 'south of this site. Tile County Conservation has opened 6 parks since 3.965 including the 220 acre Y.enL County Park 10 miles went of; the city and five other approximately 50 acres, within the County. Page 3, BURRS STUDY AMEN`I)MENTS ' 1970 b. Schools The new West High School was opened on an 80 acre site on Melrose Avenue in 1968. This fine facility includes typical type areas, a'baseball diamond,'sotfball fields, tennis courts and football field in additon to large indoor facilities. Greater recreational use of the facilities is anticipated by the public as'the -'neighborhood is developed. The Shimek Elementary School was opened in 1970 on a rolling and_steeply'wooded 18 acre site in the north section of twon off Grissell Place. This site is'the 'only open area in this hilly-wooded neighborhood. Neighborhood recreation - uses are fully anticipated, especially in the wooded areas. The Lemme Elementary school was-opened-in 1970 on a rather flat, 9-acre site which includes a smalI grove of .. large oak trees. Anadjacent park site to extend this facility off Washington Street in northeast Iowa City has been discussed by the Park and Recreation Commission. The proposal is to acquire about 2.5 acres of the adjoining wooded`slo?es - to provide a_natural area for sliding, free. play,:. aesthetic openness and some picnic sites. The Grant Woods Elementary School, with a site of 8 acres, ",.was -.opened as 'a>park-school in 1969.The park -school site consists of 13.7 acres including Fairmeadows Park. C. Other Recreation Opportunities In 1970 the University opened its new Recreation Building -- which is expected to somewhat reduce the indoor pressures on the Iowa City Recreation Center. Two new golf courses have been opened. The 9 hole West Branch Country Club was improved in'1967 and now serves large numbers of Iowa City people. In 1970 the _Quail Creek 9 hole course opened on-lli.ghway-218 about. 8..miles ..north of._. Iowa City. This brings to 72 the number of golf holes available to Iowa Citians within 15 miles -of the city. ;•ilii•;h1:I:S 1'I;liSliN7.

These planning concepts continue to be the guide for park acquisitions and developments in 1970. The six principal items listed in the 1965 _Burke Report under Conclusions and Recommendations, paragraph Number 16, have all. been completed through a -- Park and Recreation, Acquisition -Development bond program of 1966. Although the principal. needs of 1965 have been completed, all. current -. needs for Park and Recreation were also enumeratedinthe 1965 Report. II In 1970 a Park & Recreation Need and Costs Study proposal was presented by the Park & Recreation Commission to the City Council: 1ne itemized needs were: 1. Recreation Center Expansion. 2 General. Upgrading of. City Park. _ * 3. Development of Hickory Hill Park. * 3. Development- and equipping of existing neighborhood parks. 5. Mercer Park expausion and improvement.- 6. Development of Terrill Mill and Southwest Park for future use. 7. The acquisition of approximately 200-300 acres of land for future development. B. The possible acquisition of approximately 4 to 6 acres of land adjacent to the. Oeksoods-School site. 9. Development and beautification of the Old Landfill with the University. • I 10. Acquisition of the Englert Tract. * (of equal importance) III The Iowa City Park & Recreation ..commission has rewritten and amended the 1965 Burke Report as follows:._ 1. Iowa City's most pressing Park & Recreation need is for a program of continued provision of neighborhood park and recreation facilities in those areas underdevelopment.` - 2. Existing parks and public lands should be more fully developed in order to provide needed recreation facilities. Neighborhood park -_.install.aLi.ons including playground apparaLus should be provided in all. large land parcels now owned or to be acquired. 3. Tt is in the best interest of the City that all public land be - appraised for park and recreational potential- and that' those suitable for such use be set aside £or':.future-development.- The City should continue:Lheprogram' and acquisition'before -the land -is developed for such other development's. - - 4. 7'he total park and recreation land including school areas but .no University faciliti.es,approxi.mate 365 acres. Bused upon recent census and minimum standards for park and recreation areas, Iowa City, now requires about 920 acres of park and recreation land. - Tile Johnson County Regional Park Recreation and :Open Space Plan calls for the City to have 1,240-acres.based_upon its 1,980 population projection. 5. The City has a great need for another large park which can be developed with diversified park and recreation facilities.- It is essential that this site be large enough so that its "open _spaces" will not be completely developed for extensive mass uses, but will retain an attitude of openness. 6. This paragraph way be deleted. 7 The existing program of dual use of park and 'school facilities whould be continued and developed. A firm program with tile obligations of each agency specifically detailed should be established. Because the School District owns the sites and the buildings and uses the property throughout the year, the equipping and the development of the sites for the City recreation program should be the responsibility of the School District. _ The School. District should make certain facilitiessuch as toilets, gymnasiums and all-purpose 'rooms available to the City Recreation Department; any building modifications which are needed to prevent intrusions into school areas required for theCityrecreation,, program should be borne by the City. Future schools should be designed to make such facilities available Without access to other portions of the school and the City should provide -a share of the land costs for the land which is tobeused -for outdoor recreation. Tile City should continue its program of making suitable facilities available to the School District including all park facilities and the Recreation Center on a reciprocal basis. 8. The City should join with other public agencies in providing the out -of -city facilities outlined in the Johnson County Regional Park and Recreation and Open Space Plan: The City should work for the preservation of, these areas for recreation. The City budget does not and cannot (in the foreseeable future) have sufficient funds for development, and for maintenance of these large natural.- areas. They are highly desirable facilities for the City and for the County, and therefore a program for their acquisition and future development by a combination of local public agencies should be started. 9. Delete this paragraph. It has been achieved. 10. The park and recreation faci.litics which this report recommends have been long overdue. In 19GI the comprehensive City plan prepared by Harland Bartholomew and Associates of St. Louis emphasized the City's need for additional park and --- -recreation facilities, and in 1964 the Citizens Advisory Committee appointed by the City Council reiterated the need forparksin Iowa City. . The 1965 Burke Study indicated that it; major proposals which became facts after the 1966 bond issue were only a "stop -gap" measure that more acquisition and development would be needed as the City continues to gro::. 11... A Southwest Community Park is being acquired (1970). - - 12. Amendments of this report are needed so that this report may permit the re- certifi.caci.on of the Burke Study by the Iowa Conservation Department Commission to regain the City's elegibi.l.i.ty-for federal grants and aid. 13.-- As the City continues in.tile _southwest secti.ons-it should plan for the development of -facilities similar to Nercer Park for that part of the. City for its uses should be a major consideration for any now tracts which may be acquired. 14, Sledding and toboganni.ng areas are at a premium it: the City. Development of these areas in the residentialneighborhoods ismostessential. - - 15. The 1970 Park & Recreation Commission report of needs indicatesthatexpansion of present facL1 Ly development is of highest -priori.Ly for maximum utilization of - public funds and spaces. It also recommends the diversion of the old and current -- city _landfill. areas i.nto recreational. elements. to minimize city expensi.tures for position and to .provide a maximum utilization of the Lower. Iowa River. 16. Deleted. This item has been accomplished - - 17. Delete. No longer pertinent. - 18. Delete. No longer pertinent. 19. Delete. No longer pertinent. 20. The existing shortcomings in- the _park: and- recreation --facilities Of the City have been a result of a historic shortage within the.. City,.,. rapid population growth, and an increasein leisure time by the public. The ability of a bond program to provide immediately useful facilities -has -been evidenced by the 1965 bond program which was able to achieve all of its desired goals within four years. Another bond issue will be necessary if the City is to attain the facilities listed in the 1970 Park & Recreation Report. 21. Ability of a bond issue to counteract the counts of speculation and inflation should-beconsideredas evidence by the history_ of. the.. 1.966 bond issue and its accomplishments. 22., The City must mala immediate progress if itisto acquire the neighborhood properties within the City which were listed -in Lhe 1.970 Commission Report. Any delay in acquisition of these areas may.fi.nd then subjected Lo -other types of development. 23. The City should establish a working program a.ieli-the Johnson County Regional Planning Commission and Johnson -County 'Consr.vati.on hoard to impelment',aregional park and recreational. program: 24. Iowa City's City Park should undergo continuous upgrading so that it may adequately handle the increased automobile and pedestrian uses. The development of other faci.liti.es,Within -.tile community effortsshould be made to divert some of the use load away from City Park and into other parks. It is especially important that the citizens of Iowa City understand use of City Park has continued to increase in spite of the increased facilities which have become available since 1965. This increased use of --ity Park in the future can b( expected to continue. 25. Delete this para.-raph. BURY.E STUDY AMENDMENTS 1970 IV. TYPES OF FACILITIES - FXISTINC Since the completion of the 1965 facility inventory, considerable acquisition has been made by the city, school district and private agencies which have changed the total recreation picture. Even more than the acquisitions, development of several of these areas 'has 'made facilities available to several new neighborhoods a. Parks '& Recreation (except school sites) Hickory Hill Park in now.the City's second largest- park consisting of 90 acres of creeks being developed as a nature preserve. The park is north of Rochester Street and adjacent to the cast side of Oakland and St. Joseph's Cemeteries. A small picnic area andaccesspoint has been developed in the northwest corner. A nature center is being developed, with restrooms and "parking installed, off the east end of Bloomington Street. Pedestrian access has been developed from the south off Rochester Street. Nature trails have been developed - - throughout the enti.re.- parkunder the: supervision -ofa part- time naturalist. The park is being used by organized -day- campers, field, trips by many groups and informal hiking, nature study, and outing groups as -well -as extensive individual hiking neighborhood uses. An apparatus area is _- being developed at the nature center. Eighty acres of this property was diverted from cemetery use and 18 acres have been purchased. Mercer Park consists of 27.1 -acres -adjacent -to Southeast Jr. High School. It has been developed as community play - field -and includes 2 baseball diamonds (1 lighted), 4 softball diamonds (1 lighted), a large swimming pool., skating rink using the parking -.lot -and-bathhouse, neighborhood playground area with -a large amount of apparatus, a new shelter :is -being - - installed, and-a'large -amount of treesand landscape plantings. Space for a tennis center at -Chis location has-been reserved. The school has used the swimming pool during the school year and studies are currently under way to determine the feasability of enclosing the pool. for year-round use. This is currently the center of most Sports activities for the Recreation Department. - Terrell Mill Park, consisting of 15 acres lying across the Iowa River from City Park, has been.acquired and is cur- rently being ur- rentlybeing filled and developed as a. major river.:i.de open space. This park isa major aesthetic improvement forthe - City as it ajoins themajor-access to -t-he city from the Interstate and -opens --up a complete view along the access highway, across the river and through -the large hilly City Park and downstream to an excellent view of the.river and - University. of. Iowa._. As.anentry-to-the-city -park, this - area is being developed to retain its primary open space- - r Page 2 BURKE STUDY AMENDMENTS 1970 vista', characteristic. Other developmentsinclude filling to make the entire property suitable for use, automobile access to provide highway access to a fine riverside picnic grove, fields to serve informal sports for the residents of the hills and apartment area northeast of the river, a boat ,landing skating -lagoon river -access has been given some consideration should the city decide to move the boating facilities out_of City Park., A riverside sidewalk has been installed from the south to the middle of the park. Sidewalks or bicycle trails will be installed to Taft Speedway on the north and have already been installed to provide additional access to the river from North Dubuque .Street. - Fairmeadows, a neighborhood school -park of 5.7 acres, has been acquired adjacent to the Grant Woods Elementary School which has a site of 8 acres. This facility is located in the southeast section of town between highway 6 and Lakeside Drive at the south end Of Western Road. Developmentconsists of open landscaping and the installation of neighborhood - playground apparatus. Street, curbs and storm sewer projects are being installed. A neighborhood playground program is conducted at the school -park site.. A picnic -playground shelter is needed. Crandic Park isa-5.2 acre riverside site which is leased from the Crandic Railroad on anannualbasis: The park is at the intersection of the Crandic Railroad and=Rivershore Drive and provides an ideal vista of the river in two directions. It is the south terminus of a planned bicycle trail' to run extensively through the north rivc-r area of the city from the University, through City Park, to Coralville and hence north and also southwest. The swampy area has been drained and filled and now provides a -fine, shaded picnic,resting, and fishing site. A small picnic shelter is being constructed near the parking lot. Large numbers -of working persons have lunch breaks at this site. The McBride Subdivision along Westgate Road included a small 3.3 acre site which has .been -deeded to:_the City as a feature of a Planned Area Development. This irregular, somewhat linear area will provide open space in a rather dense residential neighborhood and will feature open lawns and landscaping since the site is too narrow and sloping for game fields.Extensive.-pathways, "vest' -pocket" developments of apparatus, "patio" sitting and resting -areas and 'land- scaping is anticipated. This linear park will tend to direct appartment residents toward the proposed Southwest Park which will be about one-eighth mile south of this site. Tne County Conservation has opened 6 parks since 1965 including the 220 acre Kent County Park 10 miles west of the city and five other approximately 50 acres within the County. Page 3 BURKE STUDY AMENDA1P-IFFS -1970 b. Schools -- The new West High School was opened on an 80 acre site on Melrose Avenue in 1968. This fine facility includes - typical type areas, a baseball -diamond, sot ball -fields, . tennis courts and football field in additon to large indoor facilities. Greater recreational use of the facilities is anticipated by the public as the neighborhood is developed. The Shimek ElementarySchoolwas opened i.n-1970on_a rolling and steeply -wooded 18acresite-inthenorth section of twon off Crissell Place. This site is Lhe only open area in this -hilly -wooded neighborhood. Neighborhood recreation uses are fully anticipated, especially in the wooded areas. The Lomme Elementary school.wns`opened :in -.1970 on a - rather flat, 9 -acre site which includes a small grove of large oak trees. An adjacent park site to extend this facility off Washington Street in northeast Iowa City has been discussed by the Park and Recreation Commission. The proposal is to acquire about 2.5 acres of: the adjoining wooded slopes to provide a natural area for sliding, free play, aesthetic openness and some picnic sites. The Grant Woods Elementary School, with a site of 8 acres, was opened as a park -school in 1969. The park -school site consists of 13.7 acres including'Fairmeadows Park. c. Other Recreation Opportunities E 41A4 In 1970 the University opened its new Recreat>on u >ng which is expected to somewhat reduce the indoor pressures on the Iowa City Recreation Center. - Two newgolf courses have -been -opened. The -9:hole - West Branch Country: Clubwasimproved in'1967:.and now serves large `numbers of Iowa City people. In 1970 the Quail Creek' 9 hole course opened on Highway 218 about 8`miles -north of Iowa City. This brings to 72 the number of golf holes available to Iowa Citians within 15 miles of the city..

Speer, Jr., Dir:of Public Works Subject: Bid Award on Two (2) 24,000 GVW 'truck Chassis with Dump Body and Hvdraulic Hoist - /attached is a copy of a'Memorandum-which l received from Administrative Engineer Eldon K. Lee in regard to a recommen- dation for the purchase of two (2) 24,000 poundGVWTruck Chassis with Dump 'Body "and 'Hydraulic Hoist for use by the Street Division. As pointed out in Dir. Lee's Memorandum, the City had funds budgeted in the 1970 Budget for the, purchase of these two trucks in the amount of $8,700:00. Although the bid is $1,995.00 over the budgeted amount it is felt that this excess can be taken out of the Capital Outlay portion of the Road - Use Tax Fund since -the -cost. of the Motor :Grader _and the Asphalt Distributor were considerably below the budgeted amount. It should be pointed out that there was an increase in truck prices between the time we originally budgeted for the equipment in May of 1969 and the time we actually took bids which was November of 1970. Another factor influencing the cost differential was the fact that one of the trucks had been wrecked during the Winter of 1969-70 which reduced the trade-in value of that vehicle:' I concur in the recommendation submitted by Mr. Lee and Superintendent of Streets Paul Dvorsky _except that the City should not pay the additional amount for the reinforced frame. As such, 'it`is my recommendation that the City of _Iowa City award the bid to the Cline Truck and; Equipment Co. of Iowa CiTty, Iowa, in the amount of $10;695:00. If you concur -in -this--recommendation, it is requested that you approve this award and forward it to the City Council for their action. Should you have any questions concerning this bid please do not hesitate to contact me. To: Date: November 25, 1970 Ralph E. Speer Jr. Director of: Public Works From: Eldon K. Lee, Administrative Engineer- ngineer Subject: Subject: Bid Award on 24,000 GVW Truck Chassis with Dump Body and Hydraulic hoist On Tuesday, November 24, 1970, the City of Iowa City received bids on two (2).24,000.GVW Truck Chassis with Dump .Body and Hydraulic .Hoist for use by the Street Division.

Provision was made in the Road Use Tax Fund portion of the 1970 Budget for the purchase_of two dump trucks. < The total amount budgeted for the purchase of these two units :was $8,700. The additional amount can be obtained from equipment that -was -:purchased-orestimated_ purchase that was under the budgeted amount, such as the Motor Grader and Asphalt Distributor. It is the recommendation of Phil Cline of Cline Truck & Equipment Co. that these .trucks bepurchased with areinforced frame. This will add a total of $140 to the bid price. - It is the recommendation of Paul Dvorsky, Superintendent of Streets, and myself that the City of Iowa City award the bid for the purchase of two (2)-24;000 GVW TruckChassis-withDump Body and Hydraulic Hoist to include the reinforced frame on the chassis to Cline Truck & Equipment Co. intheamount of ,$10,835.00.

How anyone can be so utterly stupid as to make a_statement such as this, I shall never under- stand. If Councilman White and the other members will read the 2nd chapter of Matthew and the 2nd chapter of Luke in the New Testament they -will -find there what Christmas really is. And if they do not understand it then, to put it plainly, Christmas is a religious holiday and not a national holiday. Christmas is simply the observance of the birthday of Jesus Christ, God's fullest revelation of Himself. After reading the news item.I not only understand "why" Rabbi Lee Diamond would object but I agree with him about 5,000%. If Christmas is considered by people, especially community leaders, as a.national holiday, then we are in far greater trouble than we knowand understand. Frankly, I recommend very highly, that the city council in Iowa City take a little time to do some much needed research concerning Jews and their beliefs and Christians and theirs.

Duane Churchman, Minister T •r i November 18., 1970 City Council City of Iowa City_ Gentlemen: My firm, Plum Grove Acres, Inc., has been informed by the Director of Public Works that any future building that may take place North and East oftheintersection of Scott Boulevard and Court Street will have to provide an independent sewer system that will terminate in the existing Ralston Creek trunk sewer.. We understand, also, that the City of Iowa City willnottake the initiative to engineer a new routing, they will not do a sewer study for the area, nor will they investigate an alternate sewer routing suggested -- by Plum Grove -----until they have a;directive ,by the City--Council-to the City Manager to direct the Director of Public Works. to studysewer re- quirements for the area. Therefore, we request the City Council to do the following: 1. Direct the 'City 'Manager to meet with the "Unsewered" landowners of this area for the purpose of planning 'a sewer. - 2. Direct the City Manager tostudythis area with a long range view of the entire drainage area so that all land owners will know what to expect. This will mean a study of land not nowinthe City Limits. 3. Direct the City Manager toallowthe use of the existing sewer facilities until such time as the final sewer system for the area can be designed and built. 4. Direct the City Manager to set up a timetable for this process. We suggest: A meeting early in December A study of the areaduringDecember A report back to the Council by Jan 15, 1971 - Please note that we are not asking--- nor do we desire- for any high priced experts from out of town to do this study. ,We ask that the competent engineering staff now on the city payroll make the field measurements necessary and that the balance of the study be taken from existing topo maps now in the possession -of -the land owners and the city. - This letter is written_with'the knowledge of Oak Woods and Scott Blvd. Corporation.

I would appreciate it if you would process these papers through the right channels so as to have the review of the Council at their December lst meeting.

This sign is of 4xtreme importance to person!; in the Iowa City and surrounding area requiring- emergency; medical care. The ready identification of this entrance to Mercy Flospital can be an invaluable assistance to a parent, wife, or husband of someone requiring immcdiaLe aid of doctors and hospital trauma facilities. 2. While persons residing in the Iowa City area may be acquainted with the location of the Emergency Entrance to Mercy Hospital, and certainly all ambulance drivers will be airfare of the entrance, there are many visitors to our community who may not be familiar with the entrance There is a great turnover of residents in Iowa City and it would help identify thelocation of the trauma center for them also. Many persons making a hurried trip to the emergency unit of a hospital are under emotional strain and any convenience and help that can be afforded them should be done. 3. If the sign is located back on the building it would make it impossible to view it approaching from the east or west in an automobile. The location indicated on the site plan enables the sign to be seen some distance from the hospital enabling the driver bringing an accident victim to the hospital to prepare himself to rake a safer turn into the emergency drive.

The motion carried unanimously. At this point, Mr. Vestal moved that the following Memo to the Planning,& Zoning Commission be included in the minutes of November 24,1970, so that it could be considered by the City Council. The motion was seconded by Mrs. Davidsen. The motion carried. TO: The Planning and Zoning Commission FROtd: Allan D. Vestal and Penny K. Davidsen We are submitting the following statement in connection with the recommendation to rezone an'area south-and'west of the Sand Lake Addition from its present R 1'A to M 1. We would like to have ,this included in the - ---minutes:-of the Commission and so be transmitted to the City Council for its consideration. First, let us say that we feel that the Commission acted precipitously in making the recommendation without consideringfully a number of relevant factors. We would like to call these to the attention of the Commission. - Although,this -was a -request for rezoning, there -obviously is an. intent to use this property for the cement operation. This means that the owner -- intends to get a building permit. Our zoning ordinance provides that, "Every building hereafter erected or structurally altered shall be located on a lot as herein defined. .-. ." A..lot is defined as, "A parcel of land-.`. . which fronts directly upon a -public street." We havedifficulty seeing how this petitioner will be able to get a building permit. We are also troubled by the plan of the petitioner to_attempt _to cut out a building site_ofless -than two acres and thus avoid the large-scale --nonresidential development requirements. We do not.. think that a petitioner, by his own act, can sever part of his property and thus get out under the requirements of this ordinance. If the ordinance can be so circumvented, it is meaningless. We repeat that we are concerned with the twenty -foot wide access to this property. This is not good. Wedonotthink'that -the Commission should put its approval on this design. We are also bothered by, the effect this plan will have on the extension - of the -north -south road in the Sand Lake addition. The Commission had the - road extendedtothe south edge of that subdivision to provide for traffic flow in -a_logical pattern in the area: 'What of the extension of that street now? Apparently we have abutting the street and of the street a strip 82 feet wide and 425 foot long. Now can the street be extended? What will be the right-of-way? What property will be assessed? What about access to the street if it is extended? Why are we not insisting on the extension of this street? The Commission should have considered these matters before -- ,making its recommendations. , Nothing at all was said about water and sewer service to the area under consideration.- We certainly think that the Commission should be interested in how these facilities are going`to be 'provided: Are the +I trucks to be; rinsed out and the liquid discharged into the Iowa river? What is the nature of the pollutant which may be thus put into the river? We think that questions like this one should have .been answered before the Commission made its recommendation We think the Commission has a responsibility in 'rezoning -to -consider -the consequences of "anyactions taken. -2 - Since this land is in the flood plain, we think that the Commission has aresponsibility to examine the plans of the petitioner to _see if they are reasonable-for_this particular area. Our zoning ordinance, with which we are dealing, is supposed to promote the public safety and welfare. We feel that the Commission has the right to inquire into the proposed use of the property to determine whether the plans are consistent with public safety and welfare in their broadest sense. Our main objection,_ however, isthatthe Commission failed in its responsibility to consider adequately the long-range interests of tile city in recommending the rezoning of this unusually shaped property. The Commission did not discuss and decide (1) what ultimately should develop in this section of Iowa City, whether in fact, the industrial zone should be extended and if so, how far; (2) what use should be made of the river bank, whetherthereshould be residential zoning at some point along the river, and/or open space use achieved by one of a variety of possible methods, for example a new zoning classification, acquisition, dedication, or easements; (3) whether the, staff,_ recommendation in the South SideStudy should be rejected; and (4) whether earlier studies and reports recommending preser- vation of the Iowa River _course as an open space should be ignored. The land immediately to the east of the section under discussion is .now zoned R`1 A; any industrial use in__ nonconforming. What,_should-occur -in this neighborhood? What do we see for this area?` These "should have been considered by the Commission; they were not. Actions such as this taken by the Commission_ have far-ranging impacts on the city. The Commission's obligation is to give full consideration to all possible ramifications. We feel that the Commission did not give the thoughtful attention to this request which it deserved. We would hope that the City_Council wouldsendthe matter back to the Commission for further .. consideration. --'-"�"^ rni cuuculNG-CUNSIRUCTION CO. Mr. -Hest, Director of Community Development, informed the Commission that the Staff was satisfied that all requirements had been met in the Final Plat of Buena Vista Addition by Pat Harding Construction Co. and recommended approval of the final plat. Mr. Best sai.d that the developer had elected to go back to the 28' street width instead of 25' with G off- street parking spaces. It was moved by Mr. Vestal and seconded by Mr. Galiher to recommend approval of the Final Plat of Buena Vista Addition. The motion carried. STATUS REPORT - MOBILE HOME PARKORDINANCE - Mr. Dennis Kraft, Director of the Johnson County Regional Planning Commission, gave a,report'of theprogresson the -Mobile --home Park Ordinance. He said it was his feeling that there should be'a Mobile Home Park Zone. Mr. Kraft said that he had worked out a*format which would probably have to be changed slightly. He asked several questions in order to gather opinions of, the Commission members; discussion was held on each item. It was suggested that research be done on standards and regulations for Mobile Homes as a part of a Subdivision Ordinance and also the establish- ment of a separate Mobile Home Park Zone. Mr. Kraft said that when the ordinance was in more final form, it would be, distributed members. to the Commission GILBERT WOODS ADDITION - DAVID LILLY Keith Borchardt, representing' Max Yocum, asked the Commission for any assistance within its power to -allow Mr. Yocum to obtain two building permits for two lots he had contracted to buy in the Gilbert Woods Addition. The two permits allowed -for unsubdivided land had already been obtained by the developer of two other lots. Mr. Yocum wanted to move two houses, now on University_ property, onto two lots in the Gilbert Woods Addition. However, he has been advised that these two houses are to be moved by November 30 to permit grading of land on which t -he houses are now located. The Commission expressed concernbutstated it could do nothing until the final plat wasbeforethem fortheirconsideration. Mr. Best and Mr. Madsen both stated that they would -do-whatever they could to obtain additional time from the University for Mr. Yocum. STATUS REPORT - RAPID CREEK BASIN STUDY Mr. Vestal brought to the attention of the Commission a map that had been prepared of the Rapid Creek Basin delineating the creek itself, the flood plain, and ownership of the properties. Ile said that the committee studying this area planned to walk over the area in the near future.

Five proclaimer certificates to be used by local public agencies (LPA's) in lieu of exr :cion stage submissions requiring .HUD review are ] .1g is- sued by separate Circulars. Their use should result in important time savings for the LPA's and HUD. 2. GENERAL EXPLANATION. The proclaimer procedure is designed to --speed-up the .r_r.ivities of the -urban ,re- newal,program,.and to place genuine responsibility atld accountability for its administration in the hands of the appropriate local officials, in a manner consistent with the proper protection of the public interest. Properly executed proclaimers will be accepted as hav- ing met HUD requirements. This procedure may be used immediately and becomes mandatory, for all LPA's on November 15, 1970. This will give LPA's time to adapt their operations to this new procedure. Until that time, the existing HUD procedures are optional. a. Certification. The proclaimer form is a certifica- tion signed by an appropriate local official or. officials verifying that given program actions were carried out or that given program determinations were made in compliance with existing statutory and administrative requirements. 1 I URBAN RENEWAL HANDBOOK ium 7200.1 b. Assurance of Comoliance. The proclaimer certificate will substitute for the submission of documents previously required for HUD review and approval. - HUD'Will-accept the locality's assurance of compli- ance, and the locality will be free to proceed to the next stage of its program without waiting for HUDconcurrence._-A proclaimercertificatewill not be reviewed except on a postaudit basis. HUD will maintain'its responsibility -for insuring.compliance with. program requirements through postaudits which seek to verify the statements of fact made in pro - claimer certificates'. These field reviews may be performed at any :time during the planning or execu- tion phase. C. Benefits. The new procedure will thus reduce HUD -. processing time and enable the locality to proceed more rapidly with the planning and execution of its program. - d. Who Signs. The proclaimer certificate will be signed by the appropriate -local official or officials designated in the proclaimer certificates. - Depending on the matter at hand, it may be a professional member of the LPA staff, such as an engineer or architect,--or-the executive director, _the -chairman of the LPA or the'mayor.--Proclaimer-certificates should be displayed or distributed at the first meeting of the LPA governing body after their - execution. e. Accountability. It is to be understood ,that in sub- mitting -a proclaimer certificate, the:local_officials -- have -freely and consciously accepted responsibility _-..:for-:_the representations contained -in theproclaimer certificate,-and-they have considered the matter in a careful. and deliberate' manner. The signers will ba held accountable for the representations contained in the proclaimer certificates and will be subject to applicable civil and criminal provisions of the United States Code. I i 3 5 URBAN RENEWAL HANDBOOK RHM 7200.1 SANCTIONS AGAINST MISREPRESENTATION. a_ Civil and Criminal Any false statement made will- fully and knowingly in the proclaimer certificates may subject the signers to conviction for a felony under_ Section1001 of Title 18 of the United States code, punishable by fine of not more than $10,000, imprisonment of not more than 5 years, or both; the signers may also be subject to civil prosecution under the provisions of Section 231 of Title 31 of the United States Code which provides for payment to the United States of the sum of $2,000 and, in addition, double the:: amount of -,damages: -sustained by the United States together with thecosts of suit. b_ Administrative. In addition to the foregoing statu- tory sanctions, misrepresentation in proclaimer certificates by local officials may also result in the impositionof other remedies, such as remedies available _to -HUD _under its contracts withLPA'.s and the withholding_of,further assistance requested by subsequent applications. RESOLUTION AND SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS. a_ Resolution. The proper form of resolution, set forth as Appendix 1, is a general resolution adopted once by the governing body of the LPA authorizing local officials to execute-proclaimers. b_ Submission Requirements. The -LPA shall submit an original of the proclaimer and one copy of the re- solution ._authorizing -the .use .of proclaimers as a matter of record to HUD. MODIFICATION OF FORMS.

A copy of the revision 'is`'attached for your consideration, approval and adoption as the new _policy statement. The necessity to consider a revision has been occasioned by several factors: First, the Program has now been in -operation for one year. The first year of operation has revealed aspects of the current policy which are in need of revision. Second, there have been imposed upon the program new Federal guidelines regulations and procedures, many of which are not -optional -and must be incorporated in the working policy statement. Finally, there has been a significant change in the make up of the Commission since the current, policy was adopted_ Some of the changes reflect the think- ing and attitudes of the nein Commission. Although I urge that you read and study the proposed new policy statement before considering its approval, I wish to point out the substantial differences between the two versions ofthepolicy and to explain the Commission's reasons for wishing to have the changes made. 1. Addition of a definition of "Adjusted Income for Eligibility". This addition clarifies,the determina- tion of eligible income levelsinaccordance with Iowa law._. _ 2. Addition of a -definition of "Adjusted Income for Rent Determination". This item has been incorporated in the program -since -March,1516 when new regulations were imposed by the Secretary of HUD. The new regula- tion, in addition to providing this definition, also provided that no participant in the program could pay more than 25%.of their. "adjusted income for rent de- termination" for the unittheywere renting. This regulation forced a substantial. change in the manner in which rents were determined inthelocal: program. Page Two Memorandum City Council November 6, 1970 The new method of rent determination is explained in the new policy.- 3. Approved applicants to this Programhaveup to now been given only one opportunity to accept an offered unit without being dropped to the bottom of this par- ticular list of applicants. The new policy statement allows one refusal of an offered ,unit before the ap- plicant drops to the bottom of the list. This pro- vision has been added by the Commission in the belief that it will make the, operation -of the program more similar to the securing of housing -on the open market and result in the participants'greater degree of sat- isfaction with the housing assigned. - 4. The addition of a procedure for reassigning par- ticipants to new housing in the event the unit they were living in is lost to the program. 5. Changed the amount of income change which must be reported between annual review_ from;$50o to $600 on an annual basis.- This figure is arbitrary and has been changed to best conform with the new rental structure. 6. Removed from the routine concern of the Commission the review of applicants eligibility and determination of priority and transferred that activity to the Hous- ing Coordinator. Action of the Coordinator will be _ fully reviewed by the Chairman of the Housing Commis- sion and subject to periodic review of the full Commission. All adverse determinations of the Coordinator. and Chairman are 'subject 'to appeal to the Commission at the request of the applicant. This change is recommended as a years operation has revealed that -`truly effective review by the entire commission is time consuming and often not very -effective or productive. It is expected that this change will fill up to one-half to one hour of the Commission's time at each meeting for attention to more fundamental matters.- - 7. Added to the annual review procedures on assessment of the suitability of the participant as a tenant and made an adverse review grounds, for removal from the program. The Commission_ -added thisprovisionsomewhat Page Three - Memorandum City Council November 6, 1970 reluctantly as it is subject to both abuse and criticism as it involves subjective judgement. Nevertheless it is believed that a technique for removing unsat- isfactory participants from the program is needed. Hopefully it will be used only on an infrequent basis. S. -Added a "finders -keepers" policy. Under the pro- vision of the policy, applicants eligible for the ---- - - program: canseek -out-their "own housing if -none other is available. If they succeed in finding`a unit sat- isfactory to the Housing Coordinator.and which the landlord is willing to place in the program the unit will be leased and sublet; -to the finder.- The Commission has recommended adoption of this policy somewhat reluct- antly'as it severly distorts the, priority -preference system, yet the housing Coordinator believes it will be a good technique for getting additional housing into the program. At such time as the program becomes ful- filled it'is likely that the Commission will wish to have this provision removed from the policy. I and members of theCommissionstand ready to discuss these recommended changes at yourconvenience and -look forward to receipt of your approval of the new policy document. I L�`�..._J... PART I GENERAL INFORL•iATION- The program described herein shall be referred to as the "Iowa City Leased (lousing Program This program was selected in 1968 from several federally assisted programs available for implementation in Iowa City because it was most adaptable to serving the largest- number of persons in the shortest possible time. The program is provided pursuant to Chapter 403A of the 'Code of. Iowa and financially assisted under the provisions of Section 23 of the United States Housing Act of 1937, as amended. It is not viewed as - a complete answer to all the housing problems faced by the residents of the community: The persons voting at the General Election in November, 1968 approved the program and the application for federal funds was submitted in early 1969. By ordinance the City Council was declared the Local Housing Authority in accordance with the Code of Iowa. The "Iowa 'City llousing Commission was established by Council Resolution Number 1.194 to provide recommendations to the Local_. housing Authority concerning housing in Iowa Cit-y.The Program Coordinator is the Iowa City Iiousing Coordinator.

If any eligible applicant• finds a suitable, standard dwelling that will be made available to the program by the owner, providing that a fair rent is being charged and that the rent is within the range the program can afford, thedwellingwill be leased and assigned ,to the applicant-. D. The lease between the Authority and the owner will be negotiated by the Leased housing Coordinator, then authenticated by the Mayor, City Clerk and the property owner. An inspection of each property at time of lease will be made and results filed with the lease. E.

Director SUBJECT: Rezoning of the area south and west of the Sand Lake Addition. In the most recent minutes from the Planning and Zoning Commission a memo is included from Vestal and Davidsen taking exception to the recommendation from planning and Zoning of a--parcel-of property abutting the east bank of the Iowa River and directly south of the old Stevens gravel pit. The purpose of this memo is to provide the City Council with the staff's strong support of the findings and recommendations of the Vestal-Davidsen memo. It should also be notedthatin this instance the Planning and Zoning Commission's vote was 3 to 2 for the re- zoning with one member abstaining and one member absent. It is apparent that while the petitioner is asking to have approximately 7 1/2 acres re -zoned -to Ml-, he has purposely proposed to develop less than 2 acres to avoid the submission of -development plans for approval. It seems appropriate to return the P $ Z re- commendation back to the Commission for further study with the suggestion that if rezoning is desirable, it be limited to only the area -proposed for development rather than the entire 7 1/2 acres.

That Section states at subsection 2 thereof as follows: A municipality may dispose of real property ,in an urban renewal area to private persons only under such reasonable competitive bidding procedures as it shall;;:prescribe, or as hereinafter provided in this subsection. (The subsection then goes on to spell out specific bidding procedures). Competitive bidding is therefore required in the.sale of land to private redevelopers. The Iowa Supreme Court has recently construed this language in the case of Inn Operations,' Inc.' -v. River Hills Motor Inn Co., 152 N.W. 2d 808 (1967). In that case the Court interpreted Section 403.8(2) as follows: Public policy. ,underlies -the requirements of competitive bidding. The purpose of'the `statute is that each bidder, actual or possible, shall be put upon the same footing. Interested purchasers should be given _equal -,opportunity to bid on the land bearing the same restrictions. The municipal authorities should not be permitted to waive any substantial variance between the conditions under which the bids are invited and the proposals submitted. If any bidder is relieved from conforming to the _conditions which impose some duty upon him, or from strict performance of the terms of the invitation to bid, such bidder is not contracting in 'fair competition with those bidders who propose to be bound by all conditions. An -indispensable element of such sale is the existence of a'definite common' standard to which all -competitive proposals alike relate. A.common pattern is the foundation of just competition. ;152 N.W. 2d 808,'817. Unless or until the Iowa Court interprets Section 403.8(2) differently or the Iowa Legislature amends that language it is my `opinion that we must follow competitive bidding in connection with the sale of any Project land -to'private redevelopers. In connection with the Federal regulations, the Urban RenewalHandbook states that former owners of property acquired in an urban 'renewal project are ineligible to be redevelopers or to have financial interests in a redeveloper unless such former owner is "the successful -bidder in a fixed-price competition, sealed -bid offering, or public auction conducted in accordance with Section 2 of this Chapter." RHA 7214.1, Land Marketing and Redevelopment, Chapter 4, Section 1, page 3. The Urban Renewal Handbook, which as indicated above 4 - with the second method of land disposal, that is the sealed -bid offering, price is the only determinative factor and the developer offering the best price must be awarded the contract. 1 have investigated the procedures followed in:four other -Iowa cities in connection with their Urban Renewal projects. Those cities are Cedar Rapids, Des Moines,_ Council Bluffs, and Dubuque. Due to pressures of -time I have not canvassed all Iowa cities or towns having renewal projects. However, all four, of these cities investigated and mentioned above use either a sealed -bid or fixed-price disposal method. Furthermore, none of the four give a preference to local redevelopers, former owners or others except in connection with a fixed-price competition when all other bid criteria are equal between proposals. In other words, these cities follow basically the same type of procedure that the City Staffhasdiscussed with the Council.and is embodied _in the proposed disposition policy statement at Section I.B(6).

GENERAL STATEMENT OF POLICIES The general policies of the City Council of the City of Iowa City hereinafter referred to astheLPA, will be consistent with the statutory and administrative procedures and requirements as recited in the Urban RenewalHandbookand the Code of Iowa. In acquiring real estate, the LPA shall .protect impartially the interests of all 'concerned, pay fair prices to owners, and utilize acquisition methods and practices which will `minimize hardship to owners and tenants. - The Urban Renewal Division, Department of:Community :Develop- ment, hereinafter referred to as the LPA Staff, will establish the fair market value 'of -the -real "estate to be acqui.red,_o n the basis of two independentreal estate appraisals, and will submit acquisition prices to the LPA, and HUD when required, forconcurrenceprior to any negotiation with property owners. It will be on the basis of the Staff determination and LPA concurrence that proclaimer`certificates, when applicable, will -be issued. The LPA, by resolution, will authorize and approve the init- iation of condemnation proceedings. - II. FIRM-INITIAL`OFFER POLICY TheLPA will use the firm; initial offer policy to acquire all property in the project-area"except those -properties specifically excepted by the provisions of -the Urban Renewal Ilandbouk, RHA 7208 1, Chapter 4, Section 2. :properties excepted from the firm initial offer procedure include, among others: (1) Property owned by any government, federal, state or local, or any instrumental-ity-thereof; (2) Property, donated tothe project; (3) Property of an owner who voluntarily and knowingly offers to sell his -property- to the ,project for less than its fair market value and executes a statement to that effect; (4) Any property for which the LPA Staff establishes a fair market value in excess of $100,000. or any group of properties in the sameownershipfor which the sum of the fair market values is in excess of $1.00,000." Such properties will not be subject to prorlaimer procedures and their acquisition price must be concurred in by IIUD. Under the firm initial. offer policy, the mi.nimum acquisition price shall be the average of the two real-estate appraisals used in determining compensation. The maximum acquisition price will be the higher- of the ,two real estate appraisals used in determining compen- sation. In every case for which tile 'firm initial offer policy is applicable, the owner shall be offered initially the full measure of compensation he by the LPA. In making the initial offer, the LPA or its real estate representative shall expl.Lin to:the -owner in a personal interview, the policy of; offering owners initially the full price_ determined on the basis of competent appraisal to be the fair compensation for the property. If two or more properties are in the same' ownership, the offered price may be the sun of the prices con- curred in by [IUD, rather than separate prices for each property. • - • During the first interview,each owner shall be furnished a written statement of: the amount and the termsandconditions of the offer-, and an explanation of the steps the LPA will take if the owner elects to reject the offer. ;Phe LPA's real estate representatives and staff members will explain the LPA's acquisition policies and procedures,': including the firm initial offer policy, and will assure owners that the LPA's policy is, to protect the interests of the owner as well as the ,public 'interest. The LPA's real estate representative and staff members will make it clear to the owner that the offer is the fullamountdetermined by the LPA to be the compensation that the owner is entitled to receive for his property.- It shall also be made clear however, that this policy is not so inflexible as to pre- clude any deviation from the "firm initial, offer". The offer can be changed if evidence that the offered price --is not sound is brought to the attention of, and accepted by, the LPA. At least thirty (30) days will be afforded each owner to accept or reject the offer, and the exact amount of time will be clearly set- forth in the written statement referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph. III. CONVENTIONAL MARKET NEGOTIATION POLICY In those cases where the firm initial offer policy does not pertain, the LPA shall use the conventional trading method of negotia- tion. +he use of this procedure, especially for those excepted prop- erties referred to in Section 11ofthis`Statement, -is to insure a fully objective determination of value and compensation. Under this procedure, prior HUD concurrence shall be sought for all acquisition prices in excess of $100;000., or singular ,owner- ship 'of collective properties whose acquisition -sums -are in excess of $100,000. Having received the IND concurred. -in price, the LPA will enter into competitive bargaining with -the property owner offering not more than the price concurred in by HUD. Under the procedures set forth in this 'section the LPA ire each property by nego- shall. make every reasonable effort to acqu tiated purchase before instituting eminent domain proceedings. The LPA's real estate representative, or the LPA Staff shall _make a diligent, conscientiouseffortto-lead the owner to.-accept;a fair and proper price for his property. if that effort is unsuccessful, the LPA Staff shall make a final offertothe property owner in writing. The final offer shall include an invitation to discuss the acquisition of his property with the LPA, afford a reasonable period of time for the owner to accept or reject the invitation, and include a notifica- tion of- the -date on which the LPA intends to'institute 'eminent domain proceedings if agrecment•cannot be reached on the purchase of the property within the time specified. IV. FURTFIEtt STEPS INVOLVED IN LAND ACQUISITION A. The LPA, in cases where an acquisition price has been agreed in by both parties in accordancewiththe procedures and policies set forth herein, shall not require any owner to surrender the right to possession of his property until the LPA pays, or causes to be paid, to the owner, the prise agreed on. In cases where only the amount of the payment to the owner its in dispute, i.e., cases brought before the County Compensation Commission,' the LPA shall not require the owner to surrender the righttopossession of his property until tile LPA pays, or causes to be paid, to the owner, the greater of 1) the amount required by State law, or 2) 75 per- cent of the appraised fair value as approved by the LPA, and J where necessary, concurred in by HUD. If only the amount of payment to the owner is in dispute, a deposit in court of at least 75 percent of the appraised fair value or the amount retuired under state law will.be made,, provided the deposit iswithdrawableby the owner i:ithout-prejudice to his right to obtain a`subsequent determination of the value of the property by the court. The payment will be applied to the -3 - ultimate -price for the property established by the eminent domain proceeding.- Once judgment has been rendered in an eminent domain proceeding with respect to property whichthe LPA has not previously taken possession of, the payment will be regarded as being made ,either by direct payment of the award to the owner _or-by_deposit in court of the amount of the award. A tender of payment to the owner, whether or not accepted by the owner, will be regarded as payment.' B. The LPA shall not require any person lawfully occupying property to surrender possession without at least 90 days' written notice from the LPA of the date on which possession will be required. The 90 -day notice shall be written 'notice and shall be given to in owner-occupant.as well as a tenant. If.the property is acquired through eminent domain proceedings, the 90 -day notice shall not be given prior to 'the date on which the LPA acquires title to, or the right to possession of, the property. -If the LPA has entered into all agreement with the owner to purchase the property, the date set in the notice for surrendering possession shall be not earlier than 90 days after the LPA gives notice and not earlier than the date on which the owner is obligated under :the agreement to deliver title or the right to possession to the LPA. C._. To'minimize hardships and soften the impact of real estate acquisition on property owners, the occupants, and any persons employed on the premises, the LPA shall: 1. Take appropriate steps to ensure, insofar as possi- ble,-that'all tenants as well as property owners, are provided full information regarding the Contemplated property acquisition and are given as much advance notice as possible -of the time the LPA expects to re- quire possession of the properties. 2. Endeavor to obtain an agreement of sale on each property as soon as feasible after a firm initial offer - - has been made or negotiations initiated. 3. Permit the owner in the agreement of sale to deter- mine, to the extent practicable,`the dates for closing and delivery of possession within the limits imposed by schedules for clearance and disposal operations. 4. In thenegotiation` of agreements for the acquisition of owner -occupied_ properties and properties occupiedby business and institutions, give early and special atten- tion to the timing -of both the acquisition of titles and the -delivery -of the possession, ,so as to minimize any adverse effect of the acquisition on the occupants and any employees of occupants. - S. Authorize a'reservation in the owner of the right to retain possession of the owner -occupied portion of the property without payment of rent, for a period not exceed- ing_60 days, in accordance with the Urban Renewal Handbook, RIIA-7211.1, Property Management, Chapter 3, and R11A. , -- Real Estate Acquisition, Chapter 4, Section 2, page 11. D. The LPA shall maintain records of -its negotiations and' other actions, as called for -in` -this Statement, including reportsof itsrealestate agent or staff negotiator on all negotiations with property owners, as -evidence of its adher- once to the required policy: -All documentation establishing --" the fair market value of each parcel and all documentation relating to such determination shall also be maintained by the LPA in its files 1. A schedule of -relocation -payments for owners and tenants in the UR -14 project has been prepared by the staff.--Essentially—it providesfora lump sum payment: for residential moving if the tenant decides to do his own moving instead of having it done. -We will; have -a resolution on the December 15agenda to adopt the schedule. 2.

Our basic opposition grows Out of the general, concept of concern - for orderliness and the belief that zoning 'jaws are necessary in our society, and that spot- zoning destroys that orderliness and that proper sense of societal structure and organization. We are in general sympathy with those .who believe that anaddi- tional- larger book store should be--available.-to the citizens of Iowa City, but it is also our sincere belief that that book store should be built in a commercial area,and_with -all of the urban renewal plans certainly there is provision in the very near future if not immediately for facilities entirely adquate if 'not optimum for Such new book store.

City Council Civic Center - _- - - Iowa City, Iowa.._. Gentlemen: On October 16, 1970, an incident occurred which .Iwould like tobring to the attention of the City Council of Iowa City. - I parked my car in front of my apartment house at 14 N. Johnson on October 15 in the evening. On October`16 the car was towed away at - the direction of the city. Since I did not realize that the car had been towed and. assumed that afriend had borrowed :the car under a previous agreement, it was the 26th of October before I checked with the city regarding the whereabouts of my vehicle., Atthat time I was told that I would have to pay _a towing fee and storage fees to the Dewey Wrecker Service -to get my car back., Since I had no money I could not do this. I subsequently talked to Mr. Clark in Mr. Honohan's office who was not clear about what I should do and told me I would hear from him._ when lie called back I was told to "file a - claim". I still assumed that I would have to pay the money before I could get my car back. I have spoken to Judge Thornton, Judge Thornton's secretary, Mr. Honohan, Mr. -Clark, and their secretaries and have been told conflicting things by all of these parties, In addition, Pat Ring, my landlord's wife has talked with Emmett Evans,_ Assistant. Police Chief, and has been told that to get my car back I would have to pay money and then file a claim for relief. Since my car was towed away afternonotice and without any posting of the street other than on the morning thecarwas towed, I feel that I should not have to pay any.money out of my own pocket. - I have been sent back and, forth between.three offices trying to find out hog„ I could _ get my car back and-havebeen- told bluntly, _"file a claim. I have now filed the claim and ask that the city pay the storage and towing fees and damages which my car might havereceivedin being stored outside at the Dewey Company. I feel that the actions of the city have been wrong and that they have tried to tie me up in red tape so that`I cannot get my car back.

We all know that it takes time to take re- turnable bottles back to stores, and that it a nuisance for stores to handle returnable bottles, but -in the interest of our environment we must be willing to put up with a little inconvenience. Itis up to local government in many instances to start the battle against pollution._ I am, proud to be an Iowa citizen, ,but how much prouder would I be if Iowa City stood in the fore front of the growing group of environmental activists. Our country was and is beautiful but it is getting ugly and if we as citizens, don't start acting now it will be too late. Thank you for considering my letter.

Washington Iowa City, Iowa S2240 Dear Mr. Hickerson: In our local newspapers I noted that the State Conservation Com- mission was objecting to the dumping of snow removed from city streets into the Rivers_ of Iowa. Their _basis :of objection was the litter that was introduced by this disposal technique., Street litter can be unsightly andofcourse "polluting" a river with it is to be condemned. Thisformof "pollution" is readily de- tcctable and measurable by the layman. -However, its main damage is to the beauty of the river, not to the health and wellbeing of the residents along the ri er Unfortunately, the detection and determination of these latter hea:ltn-related types of pollution can be accomplished only by a professional analyst, thus the public and their officials are often un- aware of this type of pollution. In the winter of 1969, 1-conducted a survey of the lead content in the Iowa River. Samples were taken from the pedestrian bridge by the Student Union, when the river was not: frozen, and from the access at the Water- Department when it was frozen. All samples were filtered to re- move undissolved -silt -and only the clear water was analyzed. Our re- sults indicate that the water under removal conditions contains approx- imately 1.8 to 20 ppb (parts per billion) of-dissolved-leads However, during a two week period—the same period of time during which the pile of snow dumped from the Park Bridge melted—the lead content rose to 71.9 ppb. To establish -a reference, f should indicate that the Federal Public Health water standards allow a_maximum of, 50 ppb on a long term basis. For short periods they will allow slightly higher levels. Thus, the practice of Iowa City of di:spossi.ng of the snow by dump- ing it in the river should be considered its a very dangerous one. Of equal danger would be dumping of this snow :in any location where it may run directly into the river. If you or other members of the Iowa City Council wish to discuss this problem of lead pollution with me, I will be most happy to provide you with the information I have available.

This would include appropriate plantings of the median and areas bordering the Street. Since then, the possibility Of creating a civic - - Plaza -in conjunction with _.-the '.-rebuilding of the College Street bridge/ has been suggested to the Council by Project GREEN. This consideration adds a new dimension - to our proposed Washington Street improvement, since the Plaza and the 'Street 'are strongly interrelated. We would now like to include the improvement of the east bank of Ralston Creek in the proposal. We see the possibility of an initial commitment to the Civic Plaza by planting the east creek bank between Washington and College Streets. ''Thus to our original proposal we now add the intention of providing appropriate landscape materials for this bank, which will establish an attractive background for the Plaza. Project GREEN proposes to provide funds for the purchase of plant materials and to mobilize people for the planting and supplemental maintenance. From the City we ask cooperation in providing a plan of the work pro- posed For 1971 drawn by a_qualified landscape architect to insure not only that the horticulturgland traffic problems for the long range are anticipated and resolved, 1 .GENE A.

The University is in the process of constructing a building on the Southwest Quarter of Block 92 and have erected a gate at the West end of the alley. We are informed that the workmen intend to close the gate and thereby close the alley and cut off the access to our apartment building and parking lot located on the alley. To my knowledge, the alley has not been sold to the University and there have been no hearingsauthorizing the closing of the alley. Since this is a public alley, I do not believe that the University has the right to close the same When snow is on the ground, it is virtually impossible for us to get into our parking lot by driving through -the -alley from east to west. having the alley open from the west is -highly important to us and our tenants. Please advise the Universitythat this alley must be left open to the public. Your cooperation -will -be --sincerely appreciated. Yours tru y, M -R •AL CITY OF IOWA CITY Iowa City City Council Civic Center Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Dear Mayor Hickerson and City Council: At the November meeting of the Iowa City Human Relations Commission a statement describing the Human Rel.ations,Training Program was approved and commission members decided that this descriptive information should be sent to the City Council. I am, therefore, enclosing this statement for you, and also a short report from Professor John Jones, Laboratory Staff Coordinator, concerning the project. The Commission strongly supports this project and we hope the community will gain from the endeavor. Sincerely, Reverend Andrew J Barry Chairman Iowa City Human Relations Commission THP:alo PROGRAM FOR COMMUNICATIONS AND HUMAN RELATIONS TRAINING IOl4A CITY HUMAN RELATIONS COMMISSION_ Civic Center Iowa City, Iowa In the aftermath of student unrest in May of 1970, the Iowa City Human Relations Commission -felt --that a positive program of action needed to be developed to break down bar- riers between segments of the university, community and the city. -A-program aimed at developing better communication skills and human relations training was developed by Univer- sity Associates and a Federalgrantfor the proposed program was sought. The Human Relations Commission felt that the gravity of the situation was indeed serious, as did the entire community. In order to counteract the barriers and to insure that we can try to avoid such incidents in the future, the Commission recommended that additional training and education be pro- vided toallcity, county -and -university -employees whose jobs require them to come into contact with the general public. The program, as organized, is:able to include individ- uals from all segments of the community. The sessions are designed to help -individual growth in communication, -and, therefore, the program is especially ..worthwhile for those who come into contact with the pul lie. The_total-program-consists of five communications and - human relations training sessions during 1970 and 1971. The overall objective of the series of five laboratories is to improve Iowa City- community life by bettering understand- ing and communications among its various groups. Specific goals of each laboratory include the following: 1. Helping participants to increase their self- awareness and awareness ofothers. 2. Studying the impact that persons have on each other._ 3. Developing skills in self-expression and in build- ing satisfying interpersonal relationships. 4. Exploring the dynamics ofgroup and intergroup _ life. S. Investigating strategies for using hinnan relations concepts in managing changes in community' life. The laboratories are designed for cross-sections of the community - civic leaders, 'city employees, students, univer- sity administrators, businessmen, minority group members, etc. The emphasis isonvoluntariness and on involving representa- tives of those persons di-rectly affected by community change. Participants engage in a variety of warning experiences, such as small groupmeetings, theory sessions, skill -development exercises, intergroup confrontations, and group problem -solving efforts.-- The basic learning design is the T -group (Training group), which is co -led by trained facilitators. Participants learn about communication, ones own impact on othersthroughhis communicating habits', and also the dynamics of group communication. Participants are able also to get to know each other during the sessions and may leave the program with many new relationships with other individuals from the community. Staff for the program is as follows: Program administrator - Mitchell Green Laboratory Staff Coordinator Dr. John F. Jones Associate Professor of Counselor Education, University of Iowa Associate Director, University Associates Associate Trainers Dr. J. William Pfeiffer Director of Educational Resources, Indiana Higher Education Telecommunication System Executive Director, University Associates The Very Reverend Peter Lawson Dean, Christ Church Cathedral,_Indianapolis Theimpact of the laboratories will be assessed by a variety of means, including self -reports of the participants and judgements and ratings of participants' colleagues. Dele- gates:will be followed.up,by using mailed questionnaires and interpersonal inventories. Data is then compiled and an evaluation of each session is developed. The evaluation consultant is Dr. Darrell L. Sabers, Assistant Professor of Education and Assistant Director of the Bureau of Educational Research and Service,_ University of -Iowa. - University Associates assumes responsibility for de- signing, staffing, conducting and evaluating the laboratories and for maintaining liaison with the human Relations Commis- sion. The Commission through the Program Administrator assumes the following responsibilities: securing facilities, recruit- ing and selecting participants, and administering funds. Expenses 1�-the training sessions a0met from several sources: Federal funds, the Afro -American -Studies Program at the University, the University of Iowa, and voluntary -contributions made by severallocalfirms. The laboratories -are -not -intended as group -psychotherapy, nor are they a substitute for psychological: treatment. They arc not directed toward the correction 'of -significant personal deficiencies. Rather, they are designed to focus on the - growth of the individual in self -understanding and increased effectiveness in relating to others, groups, and organizations. The Commission strongly supports this project, and hope- fully, the results will benefit the entire community.

Since there was -considerable speculation that the University would be disrupted again in the fall, it was decided that the first of the proposed laboratories would be held before classes began, and the University underwrote the project. The event took place at the Iowa Memorial Union in Iowa City, September 11- 13, 1970.. This report is.a description and an impressionistic evaluation of that Eirst laboratory._ Sponsorship The laboratory was sponsoredbythe Ionia City. Human Relations Commission, and its formerchairman, Mr. Mitchell Greene, served -as --administrative coordinator for the_recruitment'of ---- part-icipants and the arrangement- of facilities. Mr. Greene was aided in these tasks by Mr. Tom Palmer, administrative assistant to the City Manager and secretary; to the Human Relations Com- mission. Staffing The laboratory staff coordinator was Dr. Juhn E. Jones, Associate Professor of Counselor Education, at the University and Associace Director of University Associates.- Other staf= memvers`included Dr. J. William -Pfeiffer,. -Director of Educational Resources of the Indiana higher. Education Telecommunications System (Indianapolis) and Director of University Associates; the Very Reverend Peter Lawson, Dean of Christ Church Cathedral (Indianapolis)' and Director of University Associates - Indiana; and Reverend Lawson's wife, Mary. Helen, a psychiatric social worker. in Indianapolis. Participants The Human Relations Commission invited persons in the EVALUATION REPORT payc 2 •., • community to participate in the laboratory, and particular_ emphasis was given to soliciting the support of law enforcement agencies. "No'. police -.personnel: -attended, however. Participants included the following: three University administrators, a campus minister, three University students (one from the student newspaper), the City manager, his administrative assistant-, the local state representative;- the county director of social services, one housewife active in local politics, and a bank vice-president- who is also the president- of: ore of the local civic clubs. _ Program Description The objectives of the laboratory were the following: 1. To helpparticipants to increase their self-awareness and awareness of others. -2. - To study the impact that persons have on each other. 3. To develop skills in self -expression -and in building satisfying interpersonal relationships. 4. To improve communications among the various groups comprising the community. The Friday -Sunday program was composed of '(1) lectures on: the theory of communication and interpersonal relations; (2) skill -building - sessions that focused on listening, decision-making, and collabora- tion; and (3) intensive -r 11' group sessions similar to 'encounter" `groups. A great deal of't;:e content_ of these sessions dealt directly with local conditions, and participants spent a lot of time giving and receiving feedback on howtheyviewed each other. Evaluation No formal evaluation was conducted of the worshop, but it - was the impression held by the staff coordinator that the objectives were achieved well. Imformal follow up of participants has in- dicated that they were enthusiastic about the outcomes and that they were encouraging others to try to ;get- into one of the four remaining proposed laboratories. The mostdramaticresults were in helping participants who represented diverse viewpoints to understand and accept each other and in providing an opportunity for persons to establish communications links that are person-to- person rather than -role -to -role. Participants seemed to see that people are far more alike than they are different-, and persons who at the beginning were perceiving each other stereotypically developed an appreciation of - the =humanness of each other. The city hall staff members were optimistic about having law enforce- ment men attend the next laboratory. } BEFORE TIE HUMAN.. RELATIONS C01414ISSIOII OF IOWA CITY, IOWA IN TIE MATTER.

Hickerson and members of the City Council Civic Center Iowa City, Iowa Gentlemen: Project GREEN's December 4th letter to the City Council made reference to the possible development of a Civic Plaza, we very much appreciate your attention and interest in gathering more specific information. One of your concerns would probably be the relationship of .the -Civic Plazaandits pedestrian connection to the Urban Renewal Mall. It seems reason- able and efficient to incluafe all these areas in a total plan in order to achieve compatibility and effective functioning of each part. we are aware that the City staff is .preparing information and formulating an initial conceppt for the proposed Civic Plaza area. If the Plaza could become a reality, we would' respectfully' urge that -the Council appoint a committee of three local architects to propose a designer to be responsible -for -the long range plan. A project of this scope and potential will affect not just the present, but future generations of our entire region. Finding the best design solution will enable this Council to give to Iowa City an architectural heritage as important as that provided by the building -of Old Capitol one hundred thirty years ago.

RELATIONS COMDIISSION November 19, 1970 The _Iowa 'City Human Relations Commission met in regular session on Thursday, November 19, 1970 at 7:30 p.m. in the Conference Room of the Civic Center. - Members present:; Father Andrew J. Barry Mr. Keith Borchart Prof. Robert Corrigan _Mr. Lloyd Berger Mrs: Michael Brody Mrs.--Sharon-Kelley- -- Members absent: Mr. Charles Williams Mrs. LeRoy Hester Rev. James Davison First order of business was a_ statusreport on the drafting of an amendment to--the--human relations ordinance to include the several requests the Commission had made for strengthening the ordinance. Mr.-Borchartreported that this draft would be submitted to the City Attorney for his review as soon as the draft is finished, and that the City Attorney would then submit the amendment to the Council. Mr. Borchart pointed out that the requested change would reflect the power of injunction enforcement steps, powerofsubpoena, and a staff- ing proposal. Discussion then took place concerning the importance of these possible new tools and the general consensus was to urge the City Council to pass the amendment. The Commission then discussed general Commission needs and ways to increase effectiveness. Some suggestions were: (1)` Draw up written guidelines for the Commission which would set forth procedures of investigations and conducting hearings. (2) Ask the State Civil Rights Commission Director to conduct a work session for Commission members after the first of the year. - (3) Improve the Commission's role of educating the community about discrimination so it is eliminated in this community. Minutes • human Relations 911111ission November'19, 1970 page 2 (4) Develop a brochure about• the Commission and its role. This kind of publication could be circulated in-- the -community and distributed to new residents or businesses as new -'people come to Iowa City. It was felt by the Commission that these kinds of actions would more fully involve the Commission in its education role. Mr. Corrigan pointed out that as the University continues to attract more black students, faculty, and staff, there will be more need for the Commission to prepare the community for housing these people. Flc also stated that "he -felt 'that as the black community" increases in numbers, the more blacks will realize that they do have recourse as a'group. The Commission should be able to work to solve any problems which may arise. Mr. Palmer then reported on the plans for the next Fluman Relations Laboratory session to be held. The next session is scheduled for January 21 through 24 at the Iowa [louse. Check in time will be at 3:00 p.m. Thursday, and -sessions will end at 4:00 p.m. Sunday.___ Mr. Palmer also -gave the Commission copies of a draft statement describing the labroatories and what is generally involved in this project. The 'Commission ,adopt--. the draft as a Commissionstatementand instructed that it be used as part of the, public information about the project. The Commission also received a statement from John Jones concern- ing the, project and containing a short evaluation of the first session. Commission members, asked that both statements be submitted to the City Council and Chamber of Commerce for their information. Commission members noted in Mr. Jones's report that no law enforcement officiai.s--attended the first laboratory session and that hopefully several would attend the upcoming session. There being no further business to come before the Commission, the meeting was adjourned: Thomas 11.

REPORT ON THE LEGAL ASPECTS -0 F MASS TRANSIT OPERATIONS BY - I ALAN LEFF, C MMISS N_ "I' NE Mr. Alan Leff,attorney for the Commission, reported to the - Commission on.the--legal aspects of various types of mass transit systems. In this report, Mr. Leff stated that thereis ! statutory provision for the joint exercise of powers by various municipalities and state_ agencies_ to form a separate or regional transit system. Another option to be enti_iat e one municipality providing transit services to other entities. Mr. Leff also 'stated that the question whether there can be ion of whe a regional mass transit system in Iowa actually relates, to the question of whether the cities themselves have the necessary i power to own and operate their own transit systems: -Basically, the cities can, join together and do together what -they can do as_individual municipalities. This report also reviews the Legal aspects of, a municipally owned andoperated transit -system. There are; two procedures provided by the Code of Iowa that would allow a municipally owned and operated transit system. One is a very specific -legislative "procedure provided by Chapter 386.13 which establishes a Board of Trustees to operate the system. The primary problem of this section of the Code is that of financing of the 'system: As far as the purchase of. equipment, there can be no use of municipal.'funds or of: j funds derived through taxation. The only way this can be done through _the _selling of revenue 'bonds. According to a i bonding attorney -contacted -by Mr. Leff,; it is not possible at this time to sell transit revenue bonds because transit I systems lose money. i The second procedure for the establishment and operation of t a system is provided by Section 404.10 (14) of the Code of Iowa which authorizes municipalities to levy a tax and allocate the proceeds to be spent for the operation and ' t i maintenance of an urban transit system and to create a reserve 1 fund. This power of taxation when coupled with the general powers granted to municipalities under Section 368.2 and under the "Home Rule" amendment, can conceivably enable a municipality - to establish a transit system and to decide the manner in ;which saidsystemshall be operated. The problem with iestablishing a transit system in this manner is thatmunicipalities i do not have the clear and specific statutory power to do so. This according to Mr. Leff, then becomes a matter of statutory interpretation.- There are two ways for providing funds for this system. One is under the Municipal Enterprises Fund (Section 404.10„(14)) and 'the `other is by general'' obligation 2 bond sale. A transit system established and funded in this manner, as opposed to the procedure provided by 386B, provides a very _flexible procedure of operation and funding to follow in i the establishmentof a transit system. One problem related to I this method, however, is that no transit system in Iowa has j ever been established "in this manner,consequently "a court i test may ultimately be needed. bir. diycrs stated he felt the -idea _of using the procedure i of386.Bshould not bedisgarded..-.Coralville is presently - operating -their bus system under 386.11 and is under ,the two i nill levy limit as established by this section `of,the `Code. j"i'he question was then-raised as to how Coralville capitalized its transit system under 386.13 in that this statute states that only revenues and income derived from the bus operation can be used to 'pay off bonds. Mr. Myers then replied that the Iowa State Auditor allowed Coralville to initially. purchase equipment with funds derived from the cities' general fund. Chairman-Vestal-stated that the method used by Coralville should be researched. He also stated that all methods should be looked at not from just a legal point of view, but also in terms of the financial and practical aspects. Chairman Vestal then named a Transit Policy Committee to study various ramifications, based on the legal aspects presented, involving the operation of a transit system. Those named to the Committee included: Allan Arneson, David Belgum, Michael Bonfiglio, C.H. "Tim" Brandt, i Richard Myers, ,Ray Mossman.and -Clark Houghton. It will be the purpose ofthisCommittee to make recommendations to the 'Regional --Planning.Commission. Mr. White stated that time was of the essence and hopefully [.a summary report would be given at the next Commission meeting. He stated-that the reason for this urgency is that the capital grant funding is waiting for a decision to be made on who is ; going to run the transit system. i -4 - REPORT - JOHNSON COUNTY LAW ENFORCEMENT ADVISORY COUNCIL Mr. Kraft reported that the 1971 planning funds have been i received from the Iowa Crime Commission for law enforcement planning. At this time, apparently all action programs submitted for 1971 will be funded ;except for the Sheriff's C radio equipment which will be funded only for approximately $12,000, rather than the $27,000 in federal funding requested. Mr. Kraft stated that he will be meeting:with -the Iowa Crime Commission in Des Moines on December 9th to discuss (all the programs. Mr. White asked what the Law Enforcement Advisory Council i was doing about the Citizenship Training, Program. Mr. Kraft i stated that there will be a committee report on this at the L next meeting of the Law Enforcement Advisory Council which i is tobe heldTuesday,November 24; 1970. i REPORT -:PARK, RECREATION -& OPEN SPACE PLAN PROGRESS J Mr. Bernhagen reported that the Park, Recreation F, Open Space -- Plan has been passed by the Johnson County Conservation Board, Coralville City Council, University Heights, but remained to be adopted by' -the -Iowa City Council. Air. White stated the - 1 Iowa City Council had delayed action because the Iowa City Parks and Recreation Commission had approved the 'plan except for the objections to the designation of specific future park sites in the plan. The resolution drawn up for the Iowa City Council included that exception. -Mr. Aite suggested that a blanket approval be accepted and then submit any amendments to'the `Regional Planning Commission, rather than going on record with something less than a'full approval in light of •. the fact that Iowa City will be submitting an application for federal funds for rthe-proposed-southwest--park acquisition. Dir. White suggested to the Commission that a standard resolution of adoption for all; the entities be distributed rather than , having each of the entities"writing their own. Mr. Vestal pointed out that in the Parks, Recreation and 1 Open Space Plan, that a general area was recommended for the location of a southwest park for Iowa City. i Mr. Kraft stated that he had a meeting scheduled on Friday, ?lovember 20th, to discuss thisitemwith the City Manager and Park and Recreation Director of Iowa City.< Mr. Bernhagen reported on the canoe trip ,taken on the Iowa River on October 28th.This trip was taken in conjunction with the Department ,of Urban --& Regional Planning at the University of Iowa to determinetheopen space preservation potential along the Iowa River between the Co-ralville Reservoir Dam and. the City of Iowa City. A report prepared by a student planning assistant, Ken Emmons, describing the trip was distributedtoCommission members. I 1 A-95 REVIEW - IOWA CITY WESTSIDE PARK FUNDING APPLICATION Iowa City's Southwest Park application was submitted to the Commission for -review. The project location is on West Lenton Street and is`fo-r a community recreation facilities flood plain park. The size of the project is 28.2 acres at a total esti- mated cost of $75,000; of this amount the federal share will be 537,500 and local share will also be $37,500. Mr. Bernhagcn pointed out that this proposal is consistent with the Regional Park, Recreation and Open Space Plan. The motion was made by Mrs. Patrick and seconded by Ur. Bonfiglio that the Iowa City proposedSouthwestPark -was-consistent -with the Regional Park, Recreation and Open Space Plan and that the - Commission endorse this proposal. The motion carried. A-95 REVIEW - UNIVERSITY OF IOWA, TRAINING F, RESEARCH GRANT IN URBAN TRANSPORTATION _ This project proposal was submitted to the Commission for its review. This proposal has been submitted by the Institute of Urban and Regional. Research of the University of Iowa for a, research and training grant This funding is for the _purpose of support to continue the growth and development of -a multi= disciplinary program for training and research in urban transportation. In essence, one of the major, purposes of this_request_is to _firmly establish the Urban Transportation Program as a continuing entity at the University of Iowa. Another purpose of this proposal is to fund additional mass transit research. Mr. Kraft recommended that the Commission make a policy decision which would call for staff review and Commission action on all construction -projects -utilizing federal funds, whileresearchand teaching grants would receive only cursorv,staff review and then be placed in the Commission file. It was moved by Mr. Myers and seconded -_by Mr. ,Shoemaker that the Commission issue a statement of no, comment on the training and research grant in urban transportation application sub- mitted by the University of Iowa. The motion carried. Chairman Vestal indicated that future academic funding applica- tions be presented to the Commission for a "no comment" statement. Mr. Myers stated that if the Commission should be required to make a pro or con statement, that this be known ahead of time and a report be given as :to the content of the program ,and be presented to the Commission members A -6- • !APPROVAL OF LEASE CONTRACT WITH XEROX CORPORATION FOR LEASE Ol: p XER X C P_ El C 1 :Mr. Kraft requested approval to lease a`Xerox copy machine - with the Xerox Corporation for approximately 5-s0 a month. elle stated-that-the Commission's volume was now great enough to justify the leasing of a` reproduction machine. Mr. Gibson suggested that Mr. Kraft also contact a staff the University on this subject in that the Univer person-at - pity has had some favorable experience with some other types _I of machines. Mr. Smith moved and Mr. White seconded the motion that the i Commission authorize Mr. Kraft to negotiate fordisthsedcasing of -a copy machine within the-general 'Phe, motion carried. 11oUSING STUDY PROGRESS REPORT Mr. Bernhagen presented a-progress report to the Commission f on the Housing Study.

Smiley _ Re: 1970 Budget Amendments == City- Manager.. -- - 12-28-70 The -Code of the StateofIowa (Sec. 24) provides that budget estimates adopted and certified by the City Council maybe amended and increased as the need arises to permit appropriation and expenditure during the fiscal year covered by such budget of"unexpended cash balances on hand at the close of the preceding fiscal year, and also to permit appropriation and expenditure during the fiscal year of unbudgeted cash balances coming available during that year from sources other than taxation. The amend- ments presented below are occasioned by the expenditure for various items not budgeted during 1970 out of cash balances available at the close of - 1969. As far as`I am able to determine, all'unbudgeted expenditures were approvedforcarry-over by Council, or represent expenditures for con- struction projects which -wereapproved_ by specific Council action. The amendments to the 1970 budget and a brief explanation of the items are as follows. - In most funds. the"amounts have been rounded to t'he next higher thousand dollars to; account for estimated December expenditures. Sanitation Fund - $25,000 -,represents additional expenditures for a street sweeper -and packer and chassis which were approved for carry- over from 1969. Parking Meter Fund - $100,000 - additional expenditures in this fund were necessitc , by: the completion of the Washington Street Parking Lot project. Cash from a $300,000 bond issue and reserve Bunds were used for land and building_purchases_and -the ,purchase of meters. This project will be completed during 1971. Special Assessment Fund - $20,000 - in the past, no specific detail -. has been accumulatedin-thisfund -for-budget purposes.-Thisamount represents ..the expenditure of.City `funds under -391Awhich is not yet covered by either the sale of bonds or the recovery of assessments. Parking Bond Reserve Fund - $28,363 - over expenditures in this fund represent additional debt service required by -the -sale of $300,000 in Parking Revenue Bonds during 1969...Cash balances were used from the 'Parking Meter Fund for this perpose: Water Construction Fund $300,000 - additional expenditures were necessary for'.the completion of the Water system, Reservoirs which were started, but not completed, during 1969. Cash balances for this purpose were available from both 1968 and 1969. I recommend that these amendment-s'be approved as presented. J. B.

I have served as a volunteer elected city official for five years. In terms of demands and pressures upon local government (the city coup- til, zany of its boards and com:aissions, the manager and city staff)p the new year of 1971 hears only a sketchy resemblance to the new year of 7965. Local government has beta geared traditionally to the super- vision of basic services -- the protection of -life -and-property, the oro•rision of adequate street systens, grater and sewer services and the like. Nota, urban governments especially are the, focus of a wide range of new and broader hurian concerns -- concerns which are vali`_ and vital -- for many of which the mechanisms and resources of local govern..ents are insufficient to de£initive action.

The status and priority of the department store/parking ramp site. Consideration needs 'to'be given to the alter- natives to size, orientation, and location of these two major facilities. For instance - does the ramp need to span College Street? - should the department store front the full length of College with the ramp extending along Burlington? 2. Code enforcement in the -area. I have already _instructed - --the-Department of Community Development topreparea schedule during December for anenforcementprogram that will begin January 1. 3. The Project Area Committee. Don Best has given me a very goodreporton plans for activation of this advisory group'. His suggestions, and others, should be shaped into some action program for the PAC._ - - 4. The staff has been revi,er:ing rather intensively the design and scheduling ;of_the various public improvements -- water, sewer, lighting, mall; —etc. Some discussion in this area may be helpful. 5. The 'status of property appraisalsshould be reviewed periodically by'the _Council. '- A progress report from the staff will be available Friday. 6.

Representatives of`state and local 'agencies concerned about_ facilitiesfor handicapped persons would like to present suggestions relative to ,the City's Uniform Building Code. 3. -A "postcard survey" has been completedregarding parking on Willow and Brookside Streets. This may be a good location to consider calendar parking in a residential area. - 4 Council has referred for discussion the policies IiITRODUCTIOFI (Proposed ordinance to amend the Building Code of Iowa City, Iowa to benefit the -Handicapped) Because of architectural barriers, there are many residents of Iowa City who are unable today to visi.t _the Iowa City Civic Center, the Johnson County Court House, the Iowa City Public Library and many other important civic and public places in the community. Obviously, the needs of; physically impaired citizens to use such buildings have been neglected in; the past and they are being over- looked at ver-looked-at present. - The city of Iowa City is in,a position now to be the first city in the State of Iowa to amend its building code 'to'make future buildings accessible to and functional for the handicapped:- Accordingly, ;the 'adoption of the proposed build- ing code would help not only local handicapped persons but it would set a very important precedent which, could result- in similar action by other cities -of the State. The following background information is quoted from a legislative report published by the Architectural Barriers Committee of i•linneapolis, Minnesota. "Our whole modern hodgepodge of private and public buildings, large and small is literally a'jungle of hazards and impediments for many more people than,is generally recognized. These hazards and impediments, collectively .identified as -architectural barriers, have their effect on all age groups in all occupations and in all forms of activities. The effect of architectural barriers is most acutely felt by that large segment of our population whose mobility ,is restricted by a'wide range of physical disabilities. There are those with the most obvious im- pairments - people in wheelchairs, on crutches, wearing leg or other body braces or casts, using canes or walkers; people with impaired muscular coordination; the severe arthritics and the blind. Disabil- ities not isabil-ities'not so obvious to the casual observer are those of a pulmonary' cardiac nature; the hard -of -hearing or deaf; the pained but not notice- able crippled arthritics; and those whose perceptiveness, coordination, flexibility, and ambulation has been slowed by -the aging process-. Other significant groups affected by architectural barriers are expectant mothers in their last two or three' months of pregnancy and mothers with small - babies. According to the American Institute of Architects, more buildings will spring up in our country vii thin the next 30 years than have been built - since the early Europeans first came to our shores nearly five centuries ago. It staggers the imagination to even try to comprehend the changes our physical environment will experience in such a short span of years. We must act now to ensure that the mistakes of the past in architectural design will not be continued. We can excuse what has happened in the past on the grounds that no real effort was made to enlighten us about' :: Page 2 the serious problems architectural barriers were creating for so many of our people. No humane society would have deliberately inflicted such hardships upon so many. The day has now arrived that we can no longer hide behind the cloak of unawareness. We: know what the problem is and it behooves 'us to find the solutions`. Common sense would dictate that the -solutions to the problems of archi- tectural barriers can most economically be effected on the drawing boards. 'Once a new building has been constructed,it isvirtually, too late to do anything about any barriers which may have been designed into it. No architect or building owner -is likely to be amenable to -making a modifi- cation of -a newly completed structure which they might construe as up- setting the; original_design concept or which wouldentailundue cost - increments. And who could blame them? Past experiences indicate that - the majority of planners and designers are perfectly agreeable to 'design- ing and constructing barrier -free buildings when there is'someone 'or some group at hand to point outwhatis needed and why. Unfortunately, there are not enough knowledgeable people around with the necessary time available to give attention to each individual building being planned. It would seem then that there is only one instrument through which a universal barrier -free physical environment can be eventually achieved - the building code and other applicable codes. These must be modified to whatever extent necessary to achieve -the -desired results. CITY OF IOWA -CITY,"IOWA - PROPOSED ORDI14ANCE AMENDING CHAP.

To give you an idea of the scope of the work, here is a breakdown of claims for the past few years and an estimate of the last year. 1. 66-67 - Total Claims 41 Allowed 26 .Paid $2823.19 Denied_ 9 Pending at end of year 6 2. - 67-68 _ Total Claims 55 18 personal injury 37 property damage Denied 12 personal injury 6 property damage Allowed l personal injury $ 16.75 31 property damage 1509.60_ Pending 5 personal injury 3. 68-69 Total Claims - - - - - 38. _ - - Allowed - _ 27 $1587.75 - Denied 10 Pending 1 4. 69-70 (estimate) Accidents (?) 59 'Claims, _ 39 Allowed _14 _2_ December 21, 1970 - 4. (Cont'd.) Denied 10 Insurance 7 Awaiting Report 6 - Undecided - 2 As you can see, we average claims in the area of 40 each year. We pay out from $1500 to $3000 on property damage claims. This does not include the large claims that we have for personal injury for which, under our old policy, we have paid from $1500 to $5000 which are not covered in this report. As far as the procedure for claims is concerned with thisreportis a copy of.the claim form whichwe require each claimant to fill out. An ori- ginal and two copies is required. One of these copies is kept at City Hall. The second is forwarded to me -and the third to our insurance carrier. This procedure is followed for all claims. We accept written reports in other forms but urge the claimant to use our form. The reason for this is it contains -'- information we and the insurance company think necessary and keeps us from having ,to request further information because necessary items --are left out. When I receive the claim form for property damage_ alone,_I route`a`memo to the appropriate department asking for their version. When I receive back their 'version, I evaluate the claim and admit or deny or request further information from the claimant. This sometimes can take a great deal of time for many reasons. In addition to the matter of the time of the individual employees of the City, there is the problem that, in many -cases „ we know -absolutely nothing about the claim in the first instance and have to start from scratch. Many claims involve our streets and sidewalks and we know nothing -" about them until the claim is filed, 'which is -. usually a few-weeksafter the accident._ We attempt to head off our lack of information by asking' employees to submit reports when they happen. Attached is a memo from Joe Pugh with his instructions in this area. One problem with delay that we now have is that when he was with the City, Charles Carney investigated all the minor claims for us. When he left, we have reverted to t}ie memo from me and letter tack type of procedure which takes longer. 'Carney used to also talk personally to many of the claimants which helped give as a better evaluation. On personal injury claims under.our present policy, the insurance carrier investigates them and we only assist as requested, by giving reports, etc. They work primarily through me. I believe the system to be fairly, workable and, point out that it protects the interest of the City, particularly in the area where insurance coverage is DELPAW MENTAL C©RRESID&D. ,,�CE DATE November 25, 1970 SUBJECT Accidents and Claims W' TO _.. -..

James .Davison Mrs Michael Brody Mr. Lloyd Berger First order of business was a letter submitted by Father Barry from the International Association of official Humana Rights Agencies.

Davison, Professor Corrigan and himself (from the commission), Mr. Palmer and Professor John Jones had discussed the timing.for'the next laboratory. The consensus oftheabove persons was -to-recommend to the commission that the next laboratory session be postponed. Mr. Borchart stated: that the most recent report from Mr. Dennis Kraft was that approval for grants would: not be forthcoming until the end of January or early February, and that "a program shouldnotbe held until funding is assured:' Mr. Borchart also reported that it would be preferable t wait until the grant application has been approved, and then set the next date.,_ This -procedure would probably` permit a session to bescheduled in mid-March. Since'a session is already tentatively scheduled for April, this new March session would give interested participants a choice of two dates.- Following a brief discussion, Mr. Borchart moved seconded by Professor Corrigan, that a resolution be passed to reschedule the session as foliows: Whereas, the Human Relations Commission has applied for Federal funding to Laboratory -project, and support the Human Relations Whereas, final approval will not be forthcoming on the application until the end of January or early February, and Whereas, the commission had already set a date in January anticipating approval early rly in 1971; Now Therefore Be It Resolved, that the Human Relations Commission drop the, January 21 to 24 dates for the next session;- and reschedule a session in mid-March with specific dates to be set upon receipt of Federal approval of the grant application. Said resolution was unanimously adopted. Professor Corrigan also pointed out that the Commission should oversee the, expenditures of this project and maintain control of them. --The - next item of business was discussion of the propos r ed amendment to the Human Relations Ordinance*Mr. Borchart presented a draft of an ordinance -which includes the items on subpoena Power, injunctive power, and "a section on damages. ,A general discussion of this draft then took place and members of the commission directed that the draft be submitted to the City Attorney for his study and report to the.Council. Commission members wanted to be available to meet with the City Council on this ordinance if the Council so desires. -Some discussion then took place on I the possibility of changing the commission role of holding public hearings and -issuing findings. The alternative to this procedure would involve investigating a complaint, trying to achieve conciliation if probable cause was established, but then rather than going to a public hearing, the commission could filea complaintt-through the court and let the judge hear the case, make the ruling, and enforce its order. Mr. Borchart pointed out that even if this procedure were ever put into effect, the current proposed amendment would still be necessary, and would be consistent with cases being handled -in court.

Consideration should be: given to locationand designa- tion for -. suchutilities:as water, sewer, electricity,; telephone,`_ natural -:gas, -:street lighting and television antenna systems taking --into account: major transmission and -- feeder linesas well as local` distribution ;:systems." - IMS project was formally:. accepted as the Club Project for 1969-70 at the Club meeting -of December 8, 1969: - You are authorized to limit or expand the scope of the project as you deem necessary upon . examination of project objectives,:': Club :and `Committee -interests, : andtheavailability of - - resoumes:-in-manpower ,and time. You may also expand the committee. membership if you feel it desirable to do so.. The project committee feels that the most important aspect of the locationofutilities is the consideration of underground electric -and -telephone lines. - - The location ofutilities-involves the following -factors: - 1. -. Cost- "--- _ 2. Safety - - '- _ 3.Maintenance -- - - - - - _ 4. Aesthetics -.5. ,Property. Values- - - It is our opinion that except for the initial cost, all'of the items listed would result in a net improvement by using; underground electric distribution,.underground telephone lines and cable television -antenna-service; - - - - -- _ -_The-:question -of aesthetics is well summarized in the following quotation. Perry Prentice, former editor of HouseG -Home Magazine, has said: - "The No. 1.eyesore in too many suburbs is not billboards -along the highways but power and light. poles. Somebody once said if you:lookat'a monstrosity long - enough you: get. so :you don't notice it. -Maybe .some people havebeen-looking _ at the monstrosity of poles _solong that'they`don't realize how perfectlya wful they look. >Sometime, :take a -good look at-whatpolesare doing. to_square 'mil.es `-- of.suburban .countryside." - - - -- _ Mr. .George C. Bestor in Technical Bulletin 48 of the Urban Land Institute commented on stable neighborhoods and property values as follows: Stable Neighborhoods - "Another reason for.: placing power lines out of sight is .to createbetter.. and more stable neighborhoods. When preparing theirbooklet, -the Oakland authorities - investigatedIdora Park, one ofthepioneer tracts with buried wiring,_ developed 1n-1929.

The levels of air quality 6 designated by the standards are designed-toprotectagainst injury to human, 7 plant or animal life and 'they ..are _-further :.intended to allow'. maximum enjoyment 8 of life and property consistent with the intent of -the Iowa Air Pollution Con - 9 trol Act. _ 10 If adequate protection is given by a certain quality of air in one region, 11 there is no justification for requiring a stricter standard in another region. 12 Conversely, if stricter standards are required to give protection in another 13 region, those standards are justifiedinall regions - 14 The first use of our air 'resources is to sustain life. Air entering the 15 respiratory tract must not menace health. Therefore, the air quality standards - 16 set must., at a minimum, provide air which will not adversely affect, through 17 production of acute or chronic symptoms, the health of the community. 18 These standards will provide a basis, to achieve clean air. Even though 19 the air in certain areas of the State of Iowa may be of better quality than - 20 these standards, the standards are not intended to provide a license allowing 21 degredaLion of the air. The intent of the Act is to maintain the purity of the 22 air resources of the State.. - 71/24/70 I The standards-'havealso been designed for use as a:basis for the develop - 2 ment of the implementation plans by State and local agencies for the.. abatement.._ 3 and control of pollutant emissions,_ including development of air contaminant 4 emission limitations and the setting of long and _short range objectives for 5 reduction of total emission of air contaminants as determined by emission _.6 inventories.. - 7 Achievement of these standards is expected by November 1, 1973. 6 pasis of Air Quality Standards -- -9 The standardsare set-first-toprotect the health .of the -.populace -against - 10 adverse effects.

They take into account soiling, corrosion, and other effects 14 caused by these pollutants and are set it`a level to reduce the long term 15 exposure. effects toanacceptable .level. - - - -16 These standards have been selected to provide protection against short term 17 adverse health effects including worsening of symptoms of persons with chronic 13 cardio -respiratory diseases. - - - 19 A single set of standards is applied in all areas in the State of Iowa to 20 provide an equality of control for all citizens. Also, the difficulty in drawing 21 boundaries for land use categories with their present heterogeneous patterns has 22 led to the setting of single standards in the State for each pollutant. 23 Where stated, the parts of vapor or gas per million parts (ppm) of contam- - 24 inated air by volume 'are -to--bedetermined :;-under .:. standard conditions at 760 mm lig __- 25 pressure and 250 C.

This practice was in force on January, 4th and 5th subsequent to the recent heavy snow fall preceding those dates. Carrying out your telephonic request I personally observed the snow beingidumped by large trucks for a period of about one hour on Tuesday, January 5th. This snow was allegedly being scooped, up off the Iowa City downtown business district area byfront 'end loaders and placed aboard trucks for transportation to the Burlington' Street bridge. The snow was being dumped over the south =side of the north section of the bridge right upstream from the dam creating a water flow blockage that extended approximately half way across the width of the dam. In my judgment, this practice seriously interfered with the normal potential flow of water over the Burlington Street dam -and under potential flooding conditions could certainly have contributed to ice jam problems in a veryadverse manner. During my time of snowdump observation, I saw beer and soft drink cans, small cardboard boxes and miscellaneous paper packaging material;' several glass bottles and in one instance 7.1 a length of black, _rubber or plastic flexible hose approximately eight feet long. In addition to these obvious litter items, a considerable portion -,of the snow being dumped was visibly - dirty and oily in appearance. I attempted to sample the 'snow being dumped and did procure a volume of approximately five gallons of snow taken at random from three different places along the dumpsite. No attempt was made to sample the dirtiest or dirtier. spots but the specimen portions were taken. in areas and at times when 1 could work my woy"into the rather dangerous and busy area with some degree of personal safety. It should be clearly'understood' that l do not feel that the five gallon specimen which I -procured represents the average quality of snow being dumped. Obviously, such a claim would be scientifically unjustified as it is impossible for a five gallon volume to adequately represent 410 truckloads. It is, however, perfectly fair to render the judgment, that visibly the snow being dumped was certainly dirty in overall; appearance and in this respect the specimen I collected does have reasonablevalidity. A .:., 13 January 1971 Mr Cliff Peterson Y Page 2 -. i 3 Laboratory, melted at The five gallon volume specimen was taken to the State Hygienic La _ low temperature and analyzed for lead, oil and bacteriologicalcontent. The specimen analyzed produced 592 ports per million of oil and a=lead content of 5.2 milligrams per i liter.or 5,200 parts per billion b The appearance of the melted fluid was oil { -slimy and highly turbid with a considerable amount of sand and dirt precipitated in the bottom of the containment vessel. The odor was intensely petroleum -like and could be expected to contribute obnoxious taste and odor properties to the water into which i it was discharged. Samples of river water to be analyzed for lead acid chloride content were collected both t above the site of snow dumpage and at two'Points downstream. None of the samples showed significant lead content, all of -them producing values less than -10 parts per billion in the - ` actual river water. The chloride contents recorded varied between Ib and 19, parts per million which is perfectly normal and does not indicate any.chloride elevation effect from f the snow dumping process:..- The manner.in which the snow was being dumped above the '3 dam blocking the normal flow of river and forcing it along the eastern half certainly is ,x not conducive to solution of the snow in the 'river with any degree of rapidity, therefore -the lack of elevated lead values -and chloride concentrations do not necessarily indicate that insignificant amounts of these materials weredischarged into the river. _ We are continuing to run lead analysis above the snow dumping site, directly below the Burlington Street dam and at the railroad bridge. River cross sectional sampling; is being practiced and if any significant changes in the concentration of lead or chloride is detected, we will so inform your office. In summation, mysurveillance of the snow dump procedure at Iowa City supports the following y points: '.. 1. Litter was being placed in the Iowa River by this process. - - - 2. There is good probability that considerable amounts of lead and petroleum products are reaching The Over in a concentrated form by virtue of being discharged at a single point. Several river conditions could easily'arise which would make these two obnoxious constituents ' available to restricted elections of„the river in concentrations for higher than other means of snow disposal would produce. The ecological effects `of this situation are admittedly con- s lectural.but to automatically assume in the:face of these analytical facts that the situation has no adverse elements isscientifically unsound and naive. -3. The hydrologic obstruction of approximately fifty percent of the linear length of the dam could have serious implications` under high river, flow conditions which could have _ easily occurred subsequent to sharp temperature rises or rain produced runoff. 1 Staie }lga�ric CaGoraiorg Zl�e lf�r�versif j of IA 01 ENVIRONMENTAL SANITATION MEDICAL- LABORATORY BUILDING•IOWACITY, IOWA 52240 MICROBIOLOGY - - -- - - Telephone—Arca 319: 353-5990 SEROLOGY _ - VIROLOGY 18 January 1971 Mayor Loren Hickerson City of Iowa City Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Dear Mayor Hickerson: To my letter of January 13th, 1970 to you I_attached a copy of a letter to Mr Cliff Peterson, in the Attorney General's office, setting forth some of the elements of the snow removal direct river dump problem in Iowa City. The last paragraph of my letter to Mr Peterson had a necessary word deleted in the second line of the first sentence.

At the same time, it has become painfully clear -that better mechanisms and procedures are needed by which citizens and the City can give Positive consideration to these matters On something like - the same wavelength. the context in -which the City can act responsibly is frequently quite different from the context in which citizens express their concerns the City scems�sometimes cast in As aresult of these differences, Invironmental the role of adversary to improved practices.

The Commission should be authorized to name special committees, supervise their activities and utilize their efforts in formulating and recommendations to the City Council. its own Commission reports page 2 I January 11, 1971 The Commission would be charged not onlywith pointed concern for the nature and scope of environmental problems affecting this metropolitan area, but with assessments of the practicability of --improvements within the scope of ,City legal. and financial resources. It should be concerned with both _short-term ;and long-range environ- mental objectives. E[ence itobviouslyshould be concerned with pinpointing and defining regional and statewide aspects of local environmental problems, where such aspects exist. Although the Commission would be established by Iowa City, its efforts'could have wide -ranging -value throughout the metro politan area and county. Its studies, reports and recommendations to the City_ Council should be shared by the 'City with the Regional Planning Commission, other local -level agencies and the State of Iowa and.its agencies, as appropriate. In its actions related to environmental' problems of a regional' nature the City, reinforced by the Commission's work, should be aggressive in pressing for action by other governments (and other levels of government), as well as in formulating and enforcing its own local policies. This.approach to our local environment is aimed specifically at recognizing not `simply 'the complexity of problems, but the complexity of sound' -and lasting solutions.

Director SUBJECT: Snow and ice control This -memo is intended to provide some basic information relative to the City's practices regarding snow hauling and plowing. Determination on both plowing and loading is _made in view of temperatures, precipitation forecasts, and existing -road -conditions; however, the following serves as a general guide: 1. Plowing is undertaken by City crews whenever accumula- tions reach about 2 inches or more. Standard operations involve 11'street plows and 2 maintainers (motor graders) when these are also, needed._ 2. Loading in the central business district will generally follow accumulations of three or four inches. Our normal force for loading consists of ,l) the City's sno-go unit (blower) plus seven rented 'trucks with drivers for street work and 2) three rented trucks and our end-loadersfor parking lot work. 3. Additionally we clear one or more runways, taxiways ;and around the hangars- and buildings at the Municipal Airport, -- fitting this 'work'in as'"soon"as major arterial streets are open. With respect to the cost of :hauling operations, we spent approximately $2,000 for contract hauling ($14.00 per hour) on.the January 3 snow storm in addition to both regular and overtime work by City forces. Hauling to the old landfill 'site _will just about double that expense. The cost for work by 'City forces will be about the same regardless of the hauled distance, providedwecan sent a sufficient number of trucks to keep the loading operation.`at-maximum levels. -We-should also anticipate some expense at the landfill site on snow hauling operations to that area in order to keep the snow pushed back for maximum use of the land and also for maintenance of access _and_ egress roads -to service the dump site.

The results have been strangulating traffic problems, a 4 1/2 million increase in the automobile population of the =United 'States each year for the last 10 years, over a>3 million annual traffic casualty rate, an'. inability to keep up with the demand for new traffic facilities, environmental deterioration and the demise of viable mass transit systems. -The -Citizens :.for .Environmental -Action discovered overwhelm- -- - ing public support within the Iowa City, area for a -reversal of tradi- tional gcvernmental policy toward urban transportation problems.- This public sentiment was transmitted to the City Council in the form of - petitions containing ,over .3,100 signatures. Thespecific-transporta- tion reforms requested were l) reduction of passenger fares on Iowa { City busses to lOp 2) extension of bus schedules to include evening and weekend hours with increased frequency of service 3) expansion of bus routes to include all major shopping and business areas in the r. community and 4) diversion of funds from`the support of proliferating automobile traffic to the support of -.the -bus system. The Citizens for ' Environmental Action are committed to support the public demand for implementation of these four essential requirements of a viable Iowa City bus transportation system. The mass transit capital improvement grant is supported by the Citizens for Environmental Action as a first -step -toward creation of an adequate bus system. However, we must point out that the implementation of this grant does not, in and of itself, meet any of the four essential conditions required for a satisfactory bus system. The $521,000 grant would purchase six 33 passenger and six 45 passenger busses, Land, garage, and maintenance PACE TWO } a bus system that meets the essential four requirements contained in the citizens petition. The Iowa Air Pollution Control.Board has stated that"77.77'--of Iowa's air pollution problems are caused by motor vehicle emissions.No amount of extensive street and traffic improvement programs can hope to accemoilate the increased population of automobiles made inevitable by lack of mass transit.` A city that can afford a $90,000 ten$ year loan -fora new industrial installation, extend. 50,000 annually for parking meter renewals and _$532,000 for one bridge project to improve'. traffic flaw can certainly afford an adequate masse transit system. MAYOR HICKERSONr - Thank you Dr. Brown. Are there others who wish to appear? Are there an others who wish to appear ppear at this hearing? I'll ask the City Attorney to read a letter which should be a part of the hearing' ` record. CITY ATTORNEY, JAY HONOHAN: ' I have two letters Mr. Mayor. (The following letter was then read.) 1 January: 25, 1971 Honorable Mayor and Gentlemen of the Council of Iowa City: Dear Sirs: Eventually every citizen and community in the United States must face the ecological effects on its environment ,of the unstinted use - of the motor car. From now -on in the Time of Our Earth every public decision must be made.in favor of man's survival and not in favor of his'desire -to. get, somewhere faster-. With -this in mind -I urge you to vote against the Burlington`, Street widening project. ..Each of you --should-drivedown--the widened..portionofDodge-Street - and recall how it used to look. The front,, yards aregoneand it is very sad not to see the shade, -shrubbery, children and pets -that used - to be there.' Is anyone really any better off as a result of all that money,, effort and inconvenience? I know that 3'm not and I've used Dodge .Street -.for ._thirty-one years.,._ PAGE FOUR _, A beautiful and intelligent community like Iowa City should take the lead in reducing traffic instead of following the mad course of providing more and more room for more and more cars. The logical next step, of course is o provide a good public transportation system. There should be a fine network of bus lines spread throughout the city with frequent and inexpensive service. Money for street use should be relabeled Money for transit. Whether it.be used for streets or for buses: the goal is the same-- ie to move the population quickly and safely to its varied destination. The notion that the bus system should pay for itself must be abandoned. No one -expects, -the streets or the fire trucks to_pay _for themselves. Coincidently with the establishment of a superior transit system there must be a "hard sell" to the citizens of Iowa City by every organization we -have. Bus riding: will become the thing to do. ;With a=little imagination one can envision a more relaxed and healthy citi- zenry._ Let,'s all move with, imagination and vision towards a humanized goal.

But, I feel that one of the problems in the past of the mass transportation system s has been thatit's-neglected a significant .:portion of those people who would, use this system. I speak of these as part of this area of the City, out on the new housing district there west of Lakeside, the Lakeside Apartments, and Bon Aire. I can't speak of percentages as to ;- how many students there are, but there's significant, very high number, that use the -transportation system. I speak, because I have talked to E a percentage number of students who have indicated their desire and - t willingness to participate in a, group of this kind. MAYOR HICKERSON: Thank you Mr. Christensen. Are there others who wish to appear? by the City, with your authorization, that the City's matching share is available and will be paid. It doesn't say of course to rates and this would be'a matter for the City Council to determine later. Another item though that should be of interest, and I think is appropriate to the hearing, has to do with the size of the busses.. Dennis Kraft, Director of the RegionalPlanning Commission, and.I have been involved - - with "representatives --,of transit manufacturers,and bus manufacturers, -- regarding sizes. We have been assured that the new air suspended 45 passenger_ busses will turn in the same radius.as the present busses on the street now, which are smaller busses_ but are of older vintage. This seems important to us because if the objective is to haul as many _ people as we can,it seems to me that we'd want to get as much capacity '. into the bus system ,as we can,so we are talking about and looking at, the 45 passenger bus. Another reason for looking at the bus is that " we have been assured by the manufacturer that a provision available on i the 45's but not on the 33, is a new environmental control package which 'we are concerned about, having to do with exhaust emissions from i the busses and this is a program that the federal agencies have approved and which costs very- little more to'add to the busses so we are con- sidering, if 45's are utilized,. -that this environmental control package : be included in the specifications for the bus system. MAYOR HICKS RSON: Thank you. Are there others who wish to appear? MR. BROWTI: I'd like to ask the question of Mr. Smiley. What is the wheelbase of the 45 passenger bus versus the wheel base of -the -33 passenger bus? PAGE NINE - In order that we may proceed with other business, if there are no additional persons to appear at this public hearing, Mr. White COUNCILMAN WHITE: I'd like 'to'make one other comment if I can in relation to the size of the busses. The question as to what size bus we purchase is not un- like the question as to how many and how wide do we build the streets. The result is`the decision either to buy the smaller number of larger busses or_a larger number of smaller busses. It may very well be that someday in the future the answer to mass transit in Iowa City will be a larger number of smaller busses, but I think that we're"satisfied -at •para crrr .x: - -. -.-- `- : � r' ., +' 9n�1_ - r..w CITY OF IOWA CITY Department of Community Development ._. _:. (319)337-9005 January 15, 1971 - Mayor and ,City -Council Iowa City, Iowa 52240 - Gentlemen: The HousingCommission has recently been giving attention to programs which can further ease the problems of housing, in Iowa City. After considering the apparent needs, oppor -tunities for financing and the relative difficulties in- volved in the implimentation of the various programs avail- able, -.:-the Commission vailable,cthe_Commission has concluded thatit should seek` - permission from the City Council to apply for a federally sponsored_ housing program for.the elderly. As detailed 1970 Census -data is not yet available, no -quan- tified evidence o-quan-tified'evidence of'a need for housing.for the elderly is available, yet the experience of the Commission during the past year and one-half 'of familiarity with the, Leasing 23 Program has convinced the Commission of this need. The needs of the elderly for specially designed_ housing in convenient locations has not been met :byrthe-Leasing 23 Program._First, there are no housing units -in:Iowa -City-specifically . designed for the low-income` elderly. Secondly, in addition to having a- general' problem of securing ,,enough ,housing under the Leasing 23 ,Program, the -_program administrator has -had dif- ficulty in locating housing which 'meets the specific needs of the elderly, in terms of design and location. As of January 1, 1971 the Housing Program has-169-units--under-lease. Of these units, 58 were-rented'to the elderly. Of the 70 unfilled applications on hand as of that date 5 were from elderly persons. Page Two Mayor & City Council January 15, 1971 The Commission recognizes that _ahorsingprogram for the elderly will not solve all housing problems in Iowa City. Receipt of such housing, however.would have the -effect of releasing housing units now in t . he Leasing - - 23 Program for low income persons who would not '.qualify for.the elderly housing. The Commission also notes that there are presently 248 units of housing being constructed by a limited divid- end corporation which should help solve the general problem of inadequate housing for the:low income groups in Iowa City. The -funding -of such a projectinlowa City would have the undeniable effect of increasing the overall inventory of housing in the City.- The availability of suitable-hous- xng for the elderly would probably result in the placing on the market of -many conventional housing units now occupied by the elderly. The Commission also notes that housing for the elderly is one of the most critical housing needs in Iowa. This fact was determined by a study conducted by the Association of Community Action Directors in.early 1970. A number of other Iowa communities have recognized the heed for this type of housing and -attempted to meet it.- As of approximately 1 year, ago there were 938 units of housing for the elderly located in 15 community projects in Iowa. Please see the enclosed list of communities, their 1970 population and the number of units of housing for the elderly in each. The Commission has been attracted to the housing for the elderly program for reasons aside from the apparent need in this area. The program is one of -the few available which would result in no cost to the Iowa City taxpayer, even in the planning phase. The housing program for the elderly is sponsored by the Depart- ment of Housing and Urban -Development The -program, which has no number', is -provided by.the United I States Housing Act ,passed in 1937 and amended in 1959 and 1961, to specifically provide housing for the elderly. Under Iowa law no public --referendum is required for the approval of this type of housing. The program is designed to provide housing for persons over 62 years of age with income limits similar to those for the Leasing 23 Program. All planning and construction costs for Page Three Mayor &_CityCouncil January 15, 1971 - the housing are provided by the federal government. Payments in lieu of taxes in the amount of 102 of annual project rental income is paid to the City by HUD. Annual differences between operation and maintenance costs andrevenuesare made up by HUD. At the, end of 40 years the project is turned over to the City. Rental rates for units in ,the -pro- gram usually range between $30'and "$50 per month, including utilities. It appears at this time that the organizational structure of the `City 'Council, functioning as the City Housing Authority, and the Housing Commission would meet the organizational re- quirements of e-quirements,of HUD_for the sponsorship -of this program. Control over the program is completely within local hands as long as the program remains non-profit and continues to meet certain standards ofhealth. The federal government -would-retain-sufficient control over the program: to 'insure these, goals - The first step toward securing a program of this sort is the filing of an application. It is this -step which the Commis- sion is recommending at this time. -:As -this is a complex step and the City could benefit from prior experience the Commission is also; recommending that the City Manager be directed to retain a consultant for this purpose. A'number _ of firms with experience in this field, several°of them local have expressed interest -in providing this service free of charge. :Such a firm would expect,''of course, to be retained for -the -planning phase of: the program should the application be approved. This phase of the:program too would be financed by HUD: Nothing has been said at this point ,about the number of units- for which we would,; apply. Experience in.other communities suggests that Iowa City should qualify ,for as many as 250 units but this point should not be: regarded as too signifi- cant at this time. Although the initial grant application would specify -a certain number of units this number would be the subject of -a-specific market analysis by HUD officials `during the application review:process. "Indications' are that no great effort or expense should b --incurred at this time for special studies to quantify the need.

O: BOX 551 -- - - -IOWA CITY. IOWA 52240 January 22 , 1971 (319) 337.2137 Members of the City Council _Iowa City, '.Iowa - Gentlemen: News reports of your recent discussions relative to the proposed Urban Renew- al advisory committee have been somewhat confusing. If I understand the prob- lem correctly, there are differences of opinion as to the committee's compos- ition ... whether it should be made up; of large number having citizens represent a cross-section of the, entire community, or, just representatives of the home- owners, business owners and tenants, etc, within the 14-block urban renewal project area. I respectfully submit a'few personal opinions for your consider- ation. I'm not sure of H.U.D.'s intent and purpose in requiring such a committee, but it seems most reasonable to believe that it is to ;provide the means for carry- ing put.a program in an expeditious, humane,s-and acceptable manner. It should maintain clear channel two-way communication and offer advice which will help to avoid unintentional blunders which could cause needless physical and econ- omic hardship. There seems to be some fear that a conflict: of interest would prevail if those who are affected by the project have a,voice.( in theformof being able to offer _advice) .'I sincerely feel this argument to be invalid and unjustified. It is not now a question of whether or not we have urban renewal; it's a' matter of choosing the best of many possible routes in reaching the ultimate goal. The surest way to re-create_a division within our community again, with al-1-its distrust and ill-feelings, is to appoint a large, community-wide committee. Interests could be expected tobewidely diversified and result in further delays. I therefore respectfully suggest that the committee be limited to around (12) members and thattheyrepresentthose inthe affected project area. To name a few, such men as George Nagle, Henry Linder, Roland Smith, Dick Fedderson, Oral Miller, Byron ,Ross, and any one of the Summerwills would do a great job although I'm not sure that ;all •would be willing to serve. Another might be` Pearl West as well as Red Lenthe. Si`�v e , _Ed Breess-Pre- NAPAA�AUTOMORTS ANO MACHINE SHOP SERVICE �ww\ B R EESE'S IOWA CITY . MARENGOT.VM7AVERNON . MUSCAT NE * TIPTON . WEST LIBERTY - CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS I am concerned with primarily -two things in this; letter.." One is the extensive use of non -returnable bottles in our town and the other is the extensive use of aluminum cans. My first thought was " to ban their use but then iE'`occured to me -that -I wasn't considering ' the people that depended upon them. More thought showed me that they weren't considering me. So -let's considersomefacts. The amount of power through electricity it takes to make'a new bottle is more -than it takes to recycle a used one. Similarily;the electircity to re cycle a bottle is extremely far less than chat which is taken to pro- duce an aluminum can. In this country our electricity demand is doubling every 10 years. This only means more sulpheroxidesin our air. Concerning-SOx's (sulpher oxide) the National AirPollution Control Administration, study shows amounts of sulpher dioxide --.greater than .02 ppm.(parts/million).; in thebreathed air increases heart and other diseases many resulting in death. In many cities in the U.S. the S02 content is much higher than .02 ppm. There is no feasible technology to remove sulpher from burning coal. The facts are simple, 'more 'electricity 'more lethal air pollution. Aluminum production is one of the major electric consumers. ` This is only one aspect of the situation. So please consider who's considering who. Thank- you very much Michael F.

Smiley February 1, 1971 (319) 337-9605 The"llonorable Mayor and City Council of Iowa City -, Civic Center Iowa City, Iowa 52240 ' Gentlemen: Submitted herewith for your review is the compilation of annual departmental reports for the fiscal and calendar year of - 1970. These reports, to a certain degree, are a reflection of the accomplishments, disappointments, pride and frustrations which each department head experiences. A summary of "what was done," however brief it maybe, also serves to accentuate "what waits to be done. The department heads,'whose work is displayed here, not only have delivered the goods for Iowa City taxpayers, but are aware of the demandsandneeds for the future. - -'' The transmittal letter for the 1968 Annual Report stated that the progress being made and the problems being resolved ........... "should also serve to prompt us to recognize the growing complexity ' of local government inIowaCity and the.fact that new and ,different problems will continue to arise, which in turn will test not only our administrative, financial and organizational abilities, but our ' capability and.flexibility to meet changing conditions in our social, economical and political community." I think 1970 represented precisely that kind of situation for local government in Iowa City. For example: ;1 1.- Student unrest in May unleased -a force and a community reaction which could have been tragic in its consequences. 2. The City committed itself to supporting a`public transportation system at mid -year. J' ' City Council -2- February 1, 1971 3. Several timesduringthe year significant public improvement projects (Keokuk, West Benton, sidewalks, Burlington/Muscatine) were ammended or abandonedas organized objection gained momentum: -, 4. Environmental and ecological concersn were heard with increasing frequency and effectiveness. 5. Administrative relationships with the Council were questioned, discussed, and resolved on several occasions during the year. ' And here we are in 1971 ----_still providing essential municipal " services, still concerned about future problems, and still resolving them together ---- so what else is new? If 1970 was a Year of testing, we passed .the course together. Very truly yours, ' - Frank R. Smiley City Manager ' FRS:alo 1 1 I.

Ralph`Spee& 1 ;1 '1 _1 I CITY COUNCIL .' In September the City Clerk - Finance Director position was divided and the offices of City Clerk and of Finance Director were established:' Due to departmental reorganization, each employee's duties were rearranged, and I share the service of two typists with the Finance Department, both new employees. ' The City Clerk is the clerk for the Council and assembled the :1 items for and prepared the agendas; attended and recorded the pro- ceedings for the 47 formal meetings, plus__ attending 49 informal meetings; completed the necessary procedures for 162 resolutions; published 30 ordinances at a cost of $660.00, notices costing $3;210.00; and condensed Council minutes and warrants at -a cost of f$3,800.00;-and - $3,800.00; andwrote letters confirming official receipt of each communication written to the Council. Easements, resolutions, etc. recorded at -the -Court House cost $282.00.-- For the year, 44 Class B -(Commercial) Beer Permits and 24 Class C (grocery) Permits, totaling 68 permits,_were processed,_with fees ' totaling $14,425.00. 139 Cigarette Permits, added $14,900.00. The Cityshare. of 1/2 of the fee for Iowa City's 31 liquor licenses is ' $14,900.00, and the 5% share of liquor sales amounted to $145,902.00.'- - We have 5 permits for Dancing in Class B taverns. - Sales Tax refunds for 12 projects were figured and filed with the Tax Commission, resulting in $6,125.00 being refunded by the State to the City. After typing the minutes in the Journal, each resolution and ' ordinance in full, 1970 meetings filling 500 pages, each item is -cross- ,<< indexed. Also I have been listing,the_items discussed at each informal meeting, as we have many inquiries concerning informal discussions. Xerox copies, 90 from last meeting,;were distributed to each depart- - went concerned, of resolutions and ordinances adopted. Chronological .project .:folders'on-each -'street,-sidewalk,bridge, - ' sewers_ equipment, bond proceeding and street lighting project are kept, consisting of all resolutions, notices, correspondence and pertinent data for each project. Four assessment projects were certified to the County Auditor; the 1967 Paving, 1968 Paving #3, Washington Street Lighting, and ' 1969 Sanitary Sewer. Bonds were sold on 3'projects. The official files are, also under the clerk's supervision. We .recorded and processed 13 cemetery deeds and filed all other contracts ' and bonds. The Municipal Code was-recodified and 325 new pages were typed, ' proofread and then printed by our multilith operator. All city -em- ployees' Codes were.,_ updated ;:and :a-2nd-notebookused -to-- accomodate -the I extra ordinances. II REGISTRATION The Clerk is the Commissioner of Registration and directs regis- ,, tration of Iowa City; voters. We registered, 3,817 new voters this year as compared to 1,250 for last; year, challenged 1,605 voters' (these had not voted in the; last four years), had 1,568 change of _ party affidavits for the, primary election and approximately 1,300 address changes. Data processing.updated 7,500 'voting records. ' 1970 registration compared to 1969 is: ' 1970 1969 Total _ 24,590 21,726 ;.� Democrat -9,112 - 7;290 - Republican 6,842 5,975 Four years ago when we put voter registration on data processing +; we had 16,647 registered voters. This is a raise in all precincts _ with the lowest percentages, in Ward 5 - Precinct 5 of 2% Ward 5 = Precinct 2 of 3%, Ward 2 - Precinct.3 of 6%, to the highest in Ward ' 1 - Precinct 4, 216%, Ward 1 - Precinct 3 152%, Ward 5 - precinct 4, 131%, and Ward 5 - Precinct 7, 104%. ` ', The new registration laws passed by the 63rd General Assembly i. have added considerably to the amount of paperwork, such as: 1)- �__ requiring a new 2 part registration' form,, one part given to the registrant as a receipt 2) an affidavit to be completed, by the voter F instead of taking a verbal oath. 3) several mobile registration - r_ changes, including requiring registration forms used by them being numbered and accounted for. We nlready have a data processing number list. I want to discontinue one list by combining the registration number with the d.p. number, if possible. The new requirements, coupled,- - with heavier registration and registration of the 18 year olds, have resulted in making elections and registrations a job in themselves. We ' - have one part-time worker who worked 88 days. III. ELECTIONS 5 There were three elections this year, Primary in June, General , in November -and School Board in September. The Clerk provides polling _ places for the State elections. We rent 'four of our 20, polling places,- the others are in public buildings. We secured Mayflower Apartments as a polling, place for Ward 2, Precinct 2, the only _change. _ I have had several queries as to the 'cost of an election. A special election or a Council election with 20 precincts averaged $3,425.00 each before 1971. (Data processing of poll books, $800.00; -Election-boards - salary of 100 workers, _$1,605.00; Rent for ,4 polling places, $105:00; Supplies, $445.00; Publications, $140.00; Labor, and delivery of voting machines, $345.00). Commencing this year, the Legislature -voted -a -raise in pay for election_ boards from $1.00 to $2.00 • per hour,sothis will double the salary figure,- now making the approx- imate cost for our elections - 20 precincts, as $5,000.00. ri The City has not had an election using the new procedures adopted by the 63rd General Assembly, including -1) the use of serial numbers ' s on ballots and ballot envelopes with dates mailed and received recorded - - for. absent ballots 2)- new rules _for absent voting inhos_pitals -and nursing homes, the political party designates one, person each to enter jointly, hospitals or nursing homes to those vote desiring to vote, also providing the ballots at that time 3) allowing 3 minutes for voting instead of 1 minute.- We have several new forms to be printed up. Redistricting was ordered by the 63rd General Assembly with pop- ulation of 2,852 to be in each City precinct. Each precinct must have a separate polling place. � 1 1 A -ACCOTRrrING- ' The completion of an electronic data processing feasibility study in:March ' was probably one of the most significant developments of the past year in terms of its importance to both short and long range planning of departmental opera- ' tions. A thorough analysis of departmental procedures, in addition to acquiring first.hand knowledge of available computerized electronic equipment, has provided ' valuable insight and information which will be of great assistance going forward. ' Despite some very persuasive conclusions by our consultant, it was decided that immediate automation was not necessary in developing the kind of Finance Depart- ' ment that would continue to meet the needs of the City. An alternative plan was developed that involved reorganization of the present staff to maximize abilities, and the development of procedural methods and practices needed for maximum internal control and informational output. At the same time it was decided that planning would continue for the eventual application of computerized systems. During the - ' latter part of the year the expressed interest of the County in the operation of some kind of a joint facility was most encouraging,'and follow-up in this area is ' planned for early 1971 ' As the IDP feasibility study was being completed, it became apparent that a reorganized financial department would need the development and design of new or modified accounting systems. _With an appointment to fill the position of Assistant Finance Director in September, the department was in a position to begin work on changing internal operations. Some of the more important changes are as follows: ...As of November 1, our payment system was converted ;from a warrant, or draft ' procedure to the use of a regular checking account. All checks are now I• ' authorized by the Director of Finance payable directly on the City's various account balances. Significantly„ the change has eliminated the dual book- ' keeping system previously used,"and has consolidated our main banking arrange- ment with one local bank: This department processed 14,928 checks in 1970, ' items be over- and the benefits of removing double handling of these cannot ' emphasized. ' ..A concerted effort was made this year to improve a program of investing ' funds. Fortheyear a -total of $392,977 dollars was collected in interest ' earned, with additional amounts accrued at year end,representing almost a - $95,000 increase ;over 1969. With the changed accounting procedures men- tioned above, exact balances are now available on a daily basis. With this ' information, average daily bank balances have been reduced from $359,894 for the first ten months of 1970, to $72,469 in December. The Treasurer is now maintaining records on a portfolio of over 6.1 million dollars in securities, and work is continuing on improving the flow of cash from ' securities to -fund balances as needed to meet, current obligations._ ' ...Standard -practice instructions were reduced to writing for purchasing, accounting and disbursement of accounts payable. This system is designed ' _ --for controlled payment -of -accounts on a twice per month basis to coincide ' with Council approval of all bills. ' .V.Several job position shifts were made internally to establish clerk positions to work closely with the Assistant Director in maintaining control over 'accounts receivable and payable and electronic data processing activities. A formal collection and follow-up procedure -for the utility section was - established which has reduced account delinquency in -this area substantially. 2 ■ ' It ,is felt -that changes like the ones listed above are only a good beginning,_ and that continued refinements will be worked on in the weeks and months ahead. I ' -PARKING SYSTEMS AND -ENFORCEMENT- ' In February the City hired its first full time Parking Systems Supervisor, ' and the parking operation was consolidated under the Department of Finance. A concentrated program was initiated to identify the location of all meters and ' -implement a system to chart the actual usage of lots and street meters on =a regu ' lar basis. Asystematic meter replacement program was started, and during the summer all meters in the Clinton, Market, Nall and Schuman Lots were replaced. All meter posts were painted and straightened and three lots were restructured to provide -a better traffic and parking 'pattern: A total of 3,826 meter trouble ' calls were received and checked, and a new system of radio equipment installed in ' December should provide an even more efficient operation next year. Implementation of standard operating procedures for the enforcement of parking ' regulations was completed in May with the preparation of a handbook for the Park- ' ettes. The response ,from this group of eight Parkettes to closer supervision and encouragement has been most rewarding considering the sometimes onerous situations ' they face. However, the issuance of 127,476_ parking tickets, an increase of 27,483 over; 1969, can cause an amazing number of problems in accounting. During the year many improvements in procedure have been made including a ten day letter and warrant ' system, new ticket forms that are much easier to handle and file, an arrangement p -to -date registration information, and the formula with the County for accurate u - tion of a more workable arrangement of cooperation with the Police Court. For the first time each individual ticket issued is accounted for on a daily basis and 1 .. 3 IPL totals summarized monthly. Even with these improvements, 34,551 tickets remained .' on file and uncollected at year end. The relative importance to overall City ' cash flow of the parking system and ticket enforcement activities is the collec- tion of '$443,075 in revenue for the year 1970. - I :. _PROJECTS— A good deal of departmental activity involved special projects of one kind undertaken during 1970. or another that were or completed The, Federal programs involving Urban Renewal, Leased Housing, and the sewer construction project are required to have an accrual system of accounting and be ' maintained separately from the cash accounting system of general City activities. This department was greatly involved in setting up books of account, budget and cash flow preparation, financial statement preparation, and the filing of many `±t required Federal reports during the year. As the Urban Renewal project -gathers momentum in 1971, the Finance Department staff will be increasingly involved in : accounting activities with the likelihood of increased staffing requirements. ' t A complete insurance study was initiated with the expert assistance of Dr. Emmett Vaughan, Partington Professor of Insurance at the University of Iowa. The-- first phase of this program involved- a new health care program for all City ' employees which became a reality November 1. It is felt that this program is as fine a package of coverage as can be found in any municipality in the United ' involve States. The second phase -will a recommendation on occupational accident coverage for municipal employees which could involve additional extended coverage for PoliceandFire. Work is continuing into 1971 on the risk management of fire, Y'- 4 1. City Attorney _-- (319) 3373605 ' January 28, 1971 ' The Honorable Mayor and _ City Council .' ;City .of_Iowa City ' Civic Center Iowa City, Iowa -' - - Re: 1970 City Attorney's Report _ Gentlemen: t I believe that this is the first City Attorney's Report in several years that has a great deal of different items to report to the Council and which I. s L' believe are significant items. First on the list of these I believe was the study of the _City Attorney's position by a specially appointed committee of attorneys. The committee, after a great deal of investigation and effort, submitted a report which recommended -that a`full'time-Assistant-City-Attorney be appointed for the City of Iowa City. As a result of that study, we have been looking for 'a full time assistant and have added, temporarily, Dennis S. Clark, on a part time basis as Assistant City Attorney,.to'help with the work- load. Also, during the year the Council hired John -W. -Hayek as ;Special ' Assistant City -Attorney for Urban Renewal. Unfortunately, probably the biggest newspaper items involving the Legal Department of the City'this'year were the Civil disturbances and riots of ' May, 1970. Along with the Police Department, we put in a few extra hours and a couple of nights without sleep.. As a result -of those disturbances, we obtained the first Final Injunction Order in the State against demonstrations ' of this type. Another item which was a first for the City of Iowa City was our first ' full hearing on a Civil Rights Complaint before the Human Relations Commission. ' This hearing resulted in a finding of discrimination and this matter is now pending for determination by the -City Council. - . The City also participated this year. in I.C.C. hearings in Chicago and -- Iowa City on the discontinuance of the Rock Island passenger trains. At the ,.... 1 s' 2- January 28, 1971 To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council Re: -City Attorney's Report Iowa City hearing, we presented over thirty witnesses in an attempt to keep Trains No. 7 and 10 operating. As the Council knows, the ruling was to discontinue Trains No. 7 and 10, but that presently is a matter in Federal Court in which we are participating. In 1970, the Municipal Code was edited, and work was done on three different Sheriff's Jury proceedings,_in addition to negotiations on purchase 1 of property for two other projects in; the Public Works Department.- Through these proceedings, -the about 60 new easements for various --- -- -- - street and sewer improvements and purchasedportions of or the entire parcel of approximately 30 pieces of land. In small claims, the City had reported to it 62 accidents which resulted in 39 claims for handling by the City, of which we allowed (in whole or in part), 17 and denied 16 with four under investigation presently and considers- tion.=--In-the-trial or litigation work area, we began the year with 16 pending • matters and were confronted with 19 new matters commenced in 1970. We tried, settled or otherwise disposed of 14, leaving us with 21 matters now pending. This year, with Judge Thornton's'new schedule commencing in September on Police Court, either Mr. Clark or myself have appeared each Friday afternoon to prosecute some 20 or more misdemeanor-violations-per day. ' As the Council is aware, as City Attorney, I have attended the Council Meetings and staff meetings of_the City as required and during the have year, worked on the Council's resolutions and ordinances and I believe the number of these will probably be•reported in the Clerk's Report. We have also worked on contracts and assisted-the Administrative Staff of the City on matters brought to our attention. '.' I think this report confirms, as was reported to the Council by the special committee studying the legal needs of-the-City, that the workloadof the Legal Department has increased and is increasing, and I"would anticipate that 1971 will be typical in this regard. Respectfully submitted, - Jay H. Honohan, ' City Attorney - JHH•bce ADM I NISTRAT ION C�� 1 Donald Best- Director ' The year 1970 was the first full year for the newly ' created Department of Community Development. This Depart- ment includes 4 Divisions as follows: _Housing, Planning, Urban Renewal, and Code Enforcement. ' The Department worked.a total of 30,149 man-hours. This figure does not include the custodial section in which all employees are on hourly_ pay. The above figure includes,;130 ' hours of over -time and 412 hours of sick leave. only .438 of the hours worked were over -time hours and 1.37% was lost _ to sick leave." 128 'man-hourswere spent in Court on various ' cases. -One housing -code -compliance case was brought to court and upheld. Departmental quarters were revised and remodeled. The Departmental 'library __is in the process of being catalogued with cooperation of a staff member from the City Library. A master filing system was inaugurated for the Code Enforce ' ment Division. The Plumbing and -Electrical sections are al- ready ,using _the new filing system and all of the Division will use it as soon ,as supplies are received. The Director and carious staff members participated with, or as members of, various committees: i.e. Technical Committee for Johnson County RegionalPlanning Commission t (JCRPC)'Transportation Study, Zoning committees of the Plan- ning and Zoning Commission,:Board of Adjustment, Citizens fora City`(CBIC), City -University meetings, ' Project _GREEN and others.

' The, Director and staff cooperated with other Departments on suchprojectsas the Street Tree Ordinance, Southwest Community Park site, OpenspaceGrant Application and traffic counts. The position of Urban Renewal Coordinator was filled-in June. rwo relocation representatives and a secretary were ' added to the Urban Renewal staff. A clerk -typist was added to the Code' Enforcement staff. A new departmental secretary - came to work in August. The Leased Housing Supervisor was ' retained on a half-time basis. This Department cooperated with the "Operation Mainstream program -by_employing 2 men for a period of six months. Two youths were employed as ' custodialhelpers during the summer months under the Mayor's Youth Employment Program. The staff _and the Board of Electrical Examiners rewrote and updated the journeymen electrician's license test. 15 men took electrical license tests; -six were denied licenses,' 5 of ,whom were from out-of-town.-- Two -plumber's tests were given during the year by the staff and the Board of Examin- ers of, Plumbers. .Each test requires 7 t 8 hours and is -- given over a two evening period. Five journeymen licenses were approved. Two men took the Master Plumber's test and one was issued a license. The Code Enforcement Division Coordinator was appointed ' treasurer of Iowa Chapter of International Conference of Building -Officials. The Plumbing Inspector was elected Vice -President -o£ the Iowa.State Plumbing Inspectors Assoc- iation. The. Housing, Coordinator' was elected -Vice -President of -the Iowa Housing Redevelopment Association. A Federal audit of all federally_funded projects admin- istered by this Department was completed, revealing no fis- cal problems. Chronological histories--of-R-14, R-16 and ' R-18 have been completed. One staff car was traded in for a new one and another e, -- - new -Car -replaced the demolished .'car -of-the -electrical in-' - spector_ The interior of the Civic Center was repainted under outside contract. Fo- - -- HOUSING LLyle Se del -Coordinator - The year started with 28 leases in the Section 23 Leasing i,. Programa At year-end there; was a total of 170 leases. Units -originally leased and not now in the program total 6. _ Rea- sons for cancellation are: 1. Mutual agreement of administrator and owner. 2. Four occupied by elderly who left the program for health and care purposes. i' 3. Owner selected -Option -I inoriginallease. - There were 2 evictions which were due to tenant irresponsi- bility. Two notices to vacate were due to an increase in F� - income or family composition. Theunitswere re -rented. Eight were abandoned.- Tenants left without. notice owing rent and,causing-some cleanup -expenses. Sixteen renters have movedandleft the program after giving adequate notice. Approximately -800 applicants were interviewed during the year. Of -the -403 applications processed: 321 were eligible for the program 68 were ineligible 14 are pending verification of submitted data 73 are on the current waiting list Some were found eligible but did not join the program for various reasons. Their applications were placed in the -----inactive-file.- -325 to 350 different owners were contacted in attempts to obtain leases.Some of these owners con- trolled multi -family units. The staff held 31 meetings.with the Housing Commission. Provisions of the 1969 Housing Act regarding rent schedules were incorporated-into.our local program. This required recomputing tenant rental rates and has caused the program to operate at a.deficit. A request has been made toHUDfor payment of these deficits. A request has also been made to HUD to change the Annual Contributions Contract. Approval of this request,will prevent future deficits. The State.legislature.raised income limits for low-income families. = New income limits have been incorpor- ated into the local program, The State Director of FHA met with the Commission and representatives of lending institutions to explain Sections 235 and 236 of the 1969 Housing Act. Numerous discussions were held regarding a Housing Program for the Elderly. A brochure entitled "Iowa City Leased Housing Program and You was produced and distributed widely for program, information purposes. The staff and the Housing Commission revised the State- ment of Policy on the leased housing program which was then approved by the City Council. The Coordinator attended 5 various out-of-town confer- ences and meetings. Every housing unit is inspected by the staff prior to leasing. Complaints by tenants and landowners necessitate re -inspection whenever called upon and may average 3 or 4 per unit.

At a news conference on May 26, Congressman Fred Schwengel announced federal approval-of-the Iowa=R-14 project with a grant of $9.5 million. Staffing, for the renewal division be- gan immediately with the-hiring,of an Urban Renewal'Coordin- ' ator in June and relocation representatives in August. A part-time urban renewal counsel was also retained in August. Announcement of the approval of the R-14 project was followed by an "allocation _letter" from HUD on July 9. This communication gave us -an approved budgetandauthorized us to begin incurring costs. The allocation letter was fol- ; ' lowed by 'a contract for loan and grant which was executed by the City on August 11 and by the 'federal government on Sep- tember 2, 1970. - In preparation for project execution activities, the relocation staff began. preparing informational guides for project tenants'. In cooperation with the Chamber of Com- merce, three issues of the Chamber's Renewal Review were devoted to information on property acquisition and reloca- tion. Interviews were conducted with approximately twenty; businessmen, and two businesses were relocated by the end of the year. One residential tenant was also relocated. The staff was also busy in retaining various consultants. A real estate appraiser was retained to-complete the second i' acquisition appraisals. To ensure adequate compensation to all tenants, a-fixture appraiser was also hired. Both ap praisers were well under way by the end of the year and their :J completed reports will be submitted to us in the first quar- ter of 1971. Other contracts were let for design and graphics work and the construction of a project model.. ' Since communicationslays so important a p Y p -part in renewal .; activities, the staff` initiated and attended various meetings with various_groups. :.Four work sessions with the City Coun- cil were devoted entirely to renewal matters. -Frequent .meet- ings were held with University-.officials-to discuss the Uni- versity's-role-in ,downtown renewal Hopefully, 1971`- will >` prove more fruitful in determining the University's part in 11 i 4 the project. 'The range of groups with which the staff has, from third class at Lemme EJlementary School },'met ' runs a grade to the Development Committee of the Chamber'of Commerce. To bring the staff closer to the people most directly ' affectedbyurban renewal,,a site office was opened in the project area in November. -'' Other renewal activities which drew attention during this first half year of project execution were project im- provements and code enforcement. -Working with the Depart- ' ment of Public Works, we discovered -that much of the plan- ning of public improvements in the project was very prelim - ng a ' inary. `Public Works has 'undertaken the task of and theiDe- new utility system including water and sewers, and the De- for street, partment-of Community Development will contract a sidewalk and mall design ,work using the Sasaki report as conceptual guide. A code enforcement program and schedule in the renewal ' was also prepared and inspections and around area will begin`in February, 1971. ' - Much remains to be done in the project, but without too R-14 off to a good start. much reservation, one could say got R-18 All plans and surveys were completed for the second re - II the application ' and newal project in 1970, and Parts.I re to HUD.: The reorganization of for loan and grant submitted among other things, has kept this project in a state of HUD, uncertain suspension. One'way or another, the life or death of this project should be resolved in ;1971. 1 R-16 The City's Community Renewal analysis of its physical; social and economic, deficiencies has been dormant for some of = time. A verbal request was_made.to HUD for an extension the De- ;. time and the request was granted. The Director of the Urban Renewal Coordin- partment of Community Development, staff members made several field trips ator and various other covering an -area of approximately one mile circumference ` of re -activating ' around _the business district with the purpose the project was reviewed and up- - ',- - - this program.- Past work on - dated with the intention of completing this project in the ^; near future. x1 _ f� Z, ' - CODE ENFORCEMENT- Bruce NFORCEMENT Bruce Hamilton- Coordinator Staff members attended Housing & Code Enforcement courses at Southern Illinois University.- -All-men-in the Division are being trained in other sections of this Division. The '- newly appointed Electrical Inspector attended conference ' school at Madison, Wisconsin. Also he attended a training course for Electrical Inspectors in Waterloo. The Plumbing Inspector attended four out-of-town schools and conferences. ' Various codes are being reviewed and amendatory, action will be recommended: (1) Building: code, (2) Electrical code, (3) Mechanical code, and (4) Plumbing code. A revised building code has been presented and awaits final action of the City Council. The newly revised electrical code has been sent to the 'City -Attorney for review and ordinance drafting. ' Man hours spent in reviewing and -amending the local electri- cal code by the Board of Electrical Examiners were 148. Re- viewing the plumbing code required 32 man-hours. _ t Removal of private.use encroachment on P public right-of- ways was started in mid -summer. Some very outstanding re { sults could be ;seen especially along Highway #6 Bypass by ' the end of the year.- This was coupled with intensified en- forcement of the sign code 'resulting .in movement of several k- signs. In May a Study Committee comprised of builders and real estate representatives began-meeting-,weeklysto iron out 1 problem points between these professions and the city govern— ment. Although -the meetings were discontinued about three months later, several:suggestions'were`presented to improve the division's operation. Building Section ;'. A total of 486 construction permits were issued for a total dollar value of $13,064,928. Of the above number of construction -permits, -255 of them were for various types )f-- housing with a dollar value- of $81996,000. This added 589 new housing units to Iowa City's inventory. t a , Y.

A tragic accident took the life of the City electrical inspector.., During a;3 month period from the time of, his inspections passing until the appointment of a new fell off considerably and were handled "inspector, by other staff members. Housing Inspection Section Two full time inspectors made 3,316 inspections. There " were 1,181 rental permits issued with a fee receipt of than $18,294.83. Rental permits cover structures rather `charge is $10 structure plus $1 per ;- - housing units. The per X41 .. ..... . .... .r . zi housing unit:- It was necessary to correspond with 146 code violators and 89 of-these brought their properties into com- pliance. The balance are being further contacted. The 89 structures brought ,into compliance hada total of ;344 hous- ing units. Arrangements have been made to have regular - meetings with the City-Attorneyrregarding disposition of code - violations. Fraternities and sororities are being inspected for code compliance and those in non-compliance are being brought up to code standards. Rental single.family houses and du- plexes are inspected but no rental permit fee is necessary.- This policy was started on October 1, 1970. "Inspectors .- have been directed not to issue a temporary rental permit ' more than once to any one unit and that not to exceed six months. Directives have ,been issued to start inspection and ' node enforcement in Urban Renewal project areas by February 1, 1971. Moving of buildings, both residential and commercial, -- requires a lot of time for -the inspector. Inspection and measurements are made before the move starts, the route is planned and the inspector stays'-with the building during the moving process. A final inspection is made after the building, has been placed on site. Quite often a-building- moving job requires that the inspector be on the job ' other than regular working hours. --` This-section was 'directed to pick up about 50 political ' signs which were placed in violation of the code (in City -right-of-way) during the last campaign. Investigation of complaints of sign violations, yard requirements and junk and debris accumulation have required up to approximately ' 48 man hours per 'month. ' Custodial Section The Custodialstaff is responsible to the Code Enforce- ment Division._ This staff is now on hourly pay and the work- ing hours have been revised in order to operate more effic- iently. ,By having 2 or 3 men on-duty::-at the same time, many small repairs and maintenance, problems have been accomplished- ' at a savings to the-City _which heretofore had, tobehired ;. out. - ' Air-conditioning-filters were formerly changed about 3 times - a year by outside help, at a cost of about $50 per change. __Now_they,are _being-changed by -the-custodians month- ly_at a cost for material of about $3 per change. _An added advantage of the `periodic ' more change can be noted -in lesser soiling around the air vents, More frequent changes should also add to the life of the-air-conditioning Idecrease machinery and maintenance problems. I _ Minor electrical` -and plumbing repairs have been -made by the staff. The staff painted the judge's room and the -., coffee room. A'large floor separation in the 'men's room -.' was filled and caulked.

The .Rating-Bureau also included suggest- �= ions for securing a Grade (s at the next inspection. Our current ' - planning will accomplishthis.--146st. -of the deficiency to the a water system is in the downtoim area. and should be improved as is urban Reneiral-progresses. ' For the first•ti.me we offered the home owners of the City -: - a safety inspection of single family dwellings. These inspect- r T; ions were accormlished by using fire engines for transportation, with the firefighters in-constant radio communication. The firefiv tors,called at 586 homes- found 326 houses w th someone at hone; were refused entry to ,29 homes; made 297 safety 'inspect- ' ' ions, that resulted in 211 sugpestions,for ,inprovement. We have received several favorable comments and feel we should con- tinue the program, at least for the ,year of ,1971. Iowa City in 1970 had the highest fire loss ($768,016.00) and the third highest number of emergency alarms (525) in it's -- J history. Over half (%, 28,700.00) of this loss occured in the t fire the night of January 20th. The graph on the last page of this report attempts to show, the relation of fire alarms to fire _ 1'1 loss, �•rith some comments on other factors that are of importance. Aid under our- mutual compacts with other Lot,= was requested January 20th., and Iona City responded to a'Coralville alarm on'February 27th. There were no fire deaths in 1970, however, 7 civilians and 22 firefighters were injured. ' 1 `. The change over to new style crash and fire helmets started in 1969, was completed in 1.270 and all officers and men are now ' equipped. We expect this lielznnb-iaill result in-less serious head injuries. the helmet is especially r7esidn--d for use with self contained breathing equipment. This vas--always a handicap with K' y the old style helmet. n' 1 The department has started a chanue from the Flypnrlon type fire coat to a highly visible yellow scotch light duck fire coat. The original cost is approximately the same and tt we expect to tripple the -service life of a coat. The d.epartment purchase:! a portable-floatable fire pump., unit is designed---for-use vith -water sources beyond the city water mains. A third Walkie Talkie Radio Unit was put into service. 1. The fire department, officers conducted drills and classes that resulted in 6233 hoursof instruction received by fire- fighters. This instruction is, for the most part, in basic firefighting. This basic approach As necessary .due to the nujibLr of new men. As of January 1, 1971 there were 23 fire- fighters with less: than 5 years on the department, 13 with less than 2 years on the department, and 8 with less than 1 �Ijyear of service. The offic-rs and men of the department completed inspect- ion of 2452 buildings. This fulfilled the contract for two inspections of each University of Iowa building.
